Marc,
if you can afford little bit more time I would recommend you to test it
first to ensure it will run smoothly:
1. Get another box capable to run AIX 4.2.1 (it can be hard those days :-)
and put ADSM 3.1 on it.
2. Restore your TSM DB to this new box. Just the DB, there is no need to
attach
No, you don't need to shutdown TSM to change this.
It can be dynamically changed with the SETOPT command!

I hate it personally, because I do know what I am doing, why, and where, but
it does force the default data directories for the great unwashed to be on
the data server. It takes a conscious (and annoying) effort to save
something on your local drive.

Is anyone doing db backups to disk using devclass type FILE?
I know, it's not necessarily a good thing, but right now we have a db that
is large enough that the log can fill before a full db backup can run.
Before I set this up, I'm wondering if anyone else is doing this.
Hello,
The BUFFPOOLSIZE can only be 1/2 the real memory you are using. If you
stop the server and make the change and set too high a number for the
buffpool
then your server will generate an error and not start. Its ok though,
just make
the needed adjustment and start your server again.

I agree, but backing up everything just because it is there is a
