I have a vendor telling me that the (vast?) majority of their
TSM installations are running on a single CPU. With the number
of heavy-weight processes running within TSM I'm concerned
about putting TSM on a single CPU. Currently TSM is running
on a dual 450MHz H80 with 2GB core. I'm migrating that application
to a p650 with 4 1.2GHz CPUs and am a little worried about
putting one application across three CPUs and TSM on the
single, remaining CPU.

The vendor also mentioned configuring workload manager on
the TSM LPAR and loading the primary printer queues (~300)
into this same LPAR. Thoughts?

What kind of CPU usage do you get on the current TSM server? My
current TSM server is a quad H50 (332MHz PowerPC) it copes very well,
it is never CPU bound.

Loading the print queues onto this box may be a reasonable idea too, I
don't know about your TSM server, but mine isn't doing a whole lot of
work during the day when the majority of print requests would be
generated.

Thanks
