We currently have 5 TSM server images running on a combination of an older M80 and a newer p5 570. The 570 will last us for awhile yet. We also have many tape drives and take in over 2TB per day, so I/O slots is an issue for us. We would like to run on an AMD Opteron 64bit system as we believe the I/O is faster than on Intel. I'm looking for hardware that has sufficient power redundancy and I/O slots. I am also curious if anyone else is doing this and what their experiences might be. Our planning timeframe is probably a year out yet. Has anyone migrated a TSM server from AIX to another Unix OS and been able to keep the same tape data?

Re: TSM server on Linux x86 64 bit
David, Get two quotes, one from an IBM partner for a Series P/AIX solution, and one from a *different* IBM partner for a Series X/Linux solution. I suggest two partners because if you use one they might try to skew the decision one way or the other, depending on their sales quotas this month :) Make sure that the two solutions are equivalent in terms of cpu grunt, memory and as Orville has pointed out IO bandwidth. Big intel iron costs as much as big unix iron - most of the components are the same anyhow - pci-x adapters, memory and so on. The difference then comes down to support costs, and you may be surprised as the support costs for a "free" Linux operating system. AIX is also close to free these days, but you still need to buy support. I'd be interested to see which way you jump.

Re: TSM server on Linux
Am I missing something!?! AFAIK TSM server support for Linux was
introduced in v5.1.5 for x86 only. Even before we had server on VM but
this is actually ADSM 3.1 and still is at the same functionality level.
Linux for S/390 and zSeries has no TSM server (yes, Linux runs on VM and
we can have a server in other non-Linux VM within the same box) but does
have B/A, Web and API clients.

I can't attest to Redhat 8 functionality, but refer to the following links for currently stipulated Linux levels: http://www-3.ibm.com/software/sysmgmt/products/support/IBM_TSM_Supported_Devices_for_Linux.html specifies some Linux level requirements.

Re: TSM server on Linux w/3494-3590
Hi
We have Linux running on two sites.
The Linux server is fairly good in performance, but I would consider it
for a mid-sized platform. The I/O and processor architecture of the x86 on
which you run the TSM server will have I/O constraints when having
environments with a daily incremental >200GB each night. Also, looking at
x86 boxes today, the PCI architecure cannot really compete with UNIX
boxes. Normally, the UNIX boxes has a lot more PCI-buses, which is a
requirement when running multiple FC adapters to tape and disk.
Also, I would consider a fairly large UNIX box a lot more stable than
running on a x86 box, when it comes to error detection, processor handling
and redundancy.

A couple of years ago I connected a Linux box to a SAN to access disk on an ESS. This worked fine (although the driver for the FC-card only supported 16 LUNS but that was enough for our test).
