Re: Using FILE instead of DISK devclass to avoid disk under-utilization

You probably want to avoid RAID5 for disk storage pools, whether sequential or random. That can really slow client backups, because RAID5 is quite slow for writing. RAID5 is really only good for read-mostly applications, so at least you'll migrate quickly. You probably want RAID10 instead, a stripe

Generally node B would take up more space, although a straight linear comparison cannot be made as file aggregation will skew the result. File aggregation is controlled via the TXNGROUPMAX and TXNBYTELIMIT parameters, TXNGROUPMAX can be set as a serverwide value, or overridden for particular clien

Each object in the TSM database takes the same amount of space, no matter the object's size. It might be the directory structure. The backed up directory structure takes up entries in the DB, but they are kind of "invisible". If you do a "q occ" on a node, it will show you the numb
