Minimum Hardware and Software Requirements

Hardware

Operating System

Communication Protocol

TSM Version 6.2

POWER4™, POWER5™, POWER6™, POWER7™
systems computer (64-bit)

Recommended and minimum memory requirements and minimum space requirements to run:
Recommended memory: 12 GB. 16 GB if you are using deduplication.

Also consider:
· Large production servers may require more than the recommended amount of memory.

Minimum memory: 4 GB for small production servers. A server is considered to be small if it has the following characteristics:

· It does not use storage pool deduplication.

· It supports only a small number of clients, or the nightly backup data transferred is 100 GB or less.

· It is used only as a library manager.

· On a machine having only 4 GB of RAM, only a single server is being run.

Additional information to consider:
· If the intention is to run with less than the recommended amount of memory, it is further suggested that this configuration be tested under those circumstances to determine that this will support the intended workload in this particular environment. Or if V6.1 servers are already implemented in these less then recommended memory environments, that would also provide a proof point that this may be suitable for these particular environments.

For more details about deduplication, search the keyword deduplication.

Disk Space

5 MB for the /var directory
30 MB for /opt directory if you create mount points, otherwise, 2 GB for the /opt/tivoli/tsm directory
360 MB for the /tmp directory
300 MB for the /usr directory
2 GB in the home directory

Significant additional disk space is required for database and log files. The size of the database depends on the number of client files to be stored and the method by which the server manages them. The default active log space is 16 GB, the minimum that is needed for most workloads and configurations. Allocate at least three times the active log space for the archive log (48 GB). Ensure that you have sufficient resources if you are using deduplication or expect a heavy client workload.

For optimal performance and to facilitate I/O, specify at least four separate directories or Logical Unit Numbers (LUNs) to be used by the database and logs. This allows I/O to be balanced across multiple directories or mounts.
