Does anyone have an real world example of moving from a single storage pool to collation by filespace?
TSM 5.5, AIX 5.3 I'm backing up a 200TB server (solaris) with 1TB of new/changed files per day. There are about 30 volumes (filespaces) and I am thinking of changing to collation to improve restore times. Some things I can figure out, like it will require 30+ minimum scratch tapes per night (typically we run with 5). And each collation group will have its own 'filling' tape. Other than the extra library slots, are there any other things I haven't thought of that will increase my h/w costs or administration time?
