Re: TSM DB Size

2009-11-10 Thread Robert Clark

For the longest time, the easiest place to take the TSM server's bio
signs, was to check how long expiration processing takes. If you
could get expiration processing done in an hour, and you didn't have
any other functional problems with your daily process, then your
database is not too big.

Servers have been getting faster. Tape, disk, and network bandwidths
have been increasing. As long as you don't fall into the pitfall of
putting half a dozen TSM servers on one tier2 storage array,
reasonable databases should continue to grow.

Well, as you've been teaching, we used to keep in mind that we needed
to do a database audit. Since the last few major releases quality has
improved a lot, so audit's are not so much an issue any more. But if
you do need to audit... 2 to maybe 3 GB an hour is about the best you
can expect, depending... So depending on how long you can take things
off-line, you may want to keep your database smaller that the hard
limit of 530 GB.


I recall a period of time, soon after Dave Cannon arrived, that
IBM's engineering focus was on quality.  They did a ton of great

Re: TSM DB Size

2009-11-10 Thread John D. Schneider
Certainly the architectural limit is a boundary you don't want to get
very close to.

But besides that, there are issues of database performance as the DB
grows and grows.  We have TSM servers running four TSM instances on
8-way pSeries AIX servers with redundant FC links to raw logical volumes
on EMC Symmetrix or Clariiion disk, with databases ranging from
80-225GB, and their performance is just fine.  Expire inventory times
are 1-2 hours, Database backup is 1-2 hours max (to LTO4 tape drives).

But we also have smaller Windows servers with dual processors and LTO3
tape drives, and with 30-50GB databases the Expire Inventory and
Database backups are also 1-2 hours.  If we let those Windows TSM
databases grow to 225GB they would not perform nearly so well, so we
have to watch how big they grow.

Hi *,

Does anyone know what the maximum size database is for TSM 5.4 and TSM
5.5 ? We were told by IBM when we were at TSM 5.3 that 120Gb was the
limit and was wondering what the limit is for 5.4 and 5.5.

Currently running TSM 5.4.3.0 on AIX 5.3 TL 9.

I believe the limit is somewhere around 600GB or so.
I have TSM 5.5 on AIX and my DB is 200GB, it was on 5.4 also.

I think this depends on the number of files and the number of backup copies.
