Re: TSM client 2GB memory limitation?
From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Richard Sims From what I've read about 64-bit Windows, it boosts the process memory limit from 2 GB to 8 TB, which should take care of that issue. Technology marches on. ...save for the fact that there is no 64-bit RDAC for Windows 2003, as well as other interestingly missing bits of software. I have had several customers have to roll back 64-bit Windows implementations for such reasons. -- Mark Stapleton ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) IBM Certified Advanced Deployment Professional Tivoli Storage Management Solutions 2005 IBM Certified Advanced Technical Expert (CATE) AIX Berbee Information Networks Office 262.521.5627
TSM client 2GB memory limitation?
According to APAR IC46817 the TSM client has a limitation on 32 bit windows platform of only using 2GB of memory and backing up 1 million files uses approx. 300MB of memory so 7million+ files will causes the TSM client to shutdown since the 2GB limit will be reached. I have a system with 15 million+ files and directories on one file system. If I upgrade this system to 64bit Windows and use the 64bit TSM client will that over come the 2GB limitation? I know online snapshot is another option but I am not sure how that would work on a 300GB SAN volume. **EMAIL DISCLAIMER*** This email and any files transmitted with it may be confidential and are intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to whom they are addressed.
