Good Morning We have been in the planning stages of moving our production backup server to our non prod site and setting up cross site vaulting.
The more I think about it, the more it makes sense to build a new server and point the clients to the server running TSM6.*. Our prod server is currently running 5.5.1 and the clients are also updated to this level across AIX, Linux, Windows and TDP for RMAN. Can someone point me to the documentation for supported clients etc as in the short term I was hoping to build the server as rev6 and leave the clients for the short term? Any gotchas running TSM6* on AIX would be appreciated. Look forward to your response Warm Regards -----Original Message----- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:ads...@vm.marist.edu] On Behalf Of Allen S.

I understand the case you're making, and I agree that the size of your files has an impact. I'm suggesting that the impact isn't huge, and that it evens out in a reasonably short timeframe. Eventually, whatever the volume size, you wind up with a library full of volumes more or less randomly distributed between 0% and 50% reclaimable. If you're keeping up with reclamation, that means you're _in_ a steady state, so you're _doing_ the same amount of work per unit time. So when I say "To a first approximation, it's irrelevant", focus on the "First appoximation" bit; Yes, there are variations here, but don't sweat them too much. It's certainly possible to back yourself into corners with very large or very small volumes. - Allen S.
