I've been running a TSM server 5.2.3.2 on an IBM x335/336 for almost two years, using Redhat ES 2.1 (2.4.9-e.27) with an IBM 3582 tape library with two LTO2 Fiber Channel tape drives. 1 x Pentium 2.8 Ghz, 1 gig of memory.
We are not a big TSM shop, with 10 major servers (AIX, several Redhat Linux, HP/UX Win2003, Win2000 with QLogic fiber cards to an IBM SAN FasT700 with IBM Fiber Switches) and maybe 30 desktops, all being backed up nightly, some at noon too. Once the TSM server halted itself, but otherwise runs very well. We only backup maybe 50-60 gigs a day. Just make sure you have all the latest IBM 3582 tape library FC firmware updates etc. Charlie Hurtubise Tecsys Inc. -----Original Message----- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Mahesh Tailor Sent: Wednesday, June 01, 2005 1:06 PM To: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU Subject: TSM on Linux Hello everyone. Is anyone running TSM on Linux (Intel platform)? If so, can you share your experiences? Is it stable? Is this platform able to perform as well as the pSeries platform? Density of client per server? Impact of OS upgrades? Interoperability with IBM 3494 with FC drives? Anything else? TIA Mahesh
