You could attach the TSM server to the clustered filesystem and allow it to perform the backup from its own client. This might get you better bandwidth if it's done properly. MEMORYEFFICIENT YES will
Yale uses Panasus PanFS, a massive parallel storage system, to store research data generated from HPC clusters. In considering feasibility to backup PanFS using TSM, we are concerned about whether TS
Hi, I do not think this is task for any "normal" backup solution (not to mention PanFS is possibly not supported by any). With these specification you may easily exceed any limit of filename/path len

Does PanFS have a tool like GPFS's tslistall? If it does you can use that to at least get a list of files to pass to TSM so TSM itself doesn't have to do a scan. If you can get mtime information you
We use TSM to backup our primary research data server. It's a SUN sparc server with 150TB of data. 51M files, 2M directories, 1+TB / day rate of change. It takes ~6-8 hours to run the backup on this.
