ADSM client "sleeping" during backup

     We have a serious ADSM performance problem with incremental backup
     operations on one of our HP systems.

     I think we are running ADSM Server Version 2, Release 1, Level 0.3 on
     MVS (that's what the message in /usr/adsm/dsmsched.log says).

     And I think we're running ADSM client v1r3 on the HP-UX 10.1 system.

     Every night we run an incremental backup operation and the
     dsmsched.log looks something like this:

     02/27/1997 03:56:35 Total number of objects inspected:  289,072
     02/27/1997 03:56:35 Total number of objects backed up:    7,766
     02/27/1997 03:56:35 Total number of objects updated:          0
     02/27/1997 03:56:35 Total number of objects rebound:          0
     02/27/1997 03:56:35 Total number of objects deleted:      2,970
     02/27/1997 03:56:35 Total number of objects failed:           0
     02/27/1997 03:56:35 Total number of bytes transferred:     85.4 MB
     02/27/1997 03:56:35 Data transfer time:                  523.77 sec
     02/27/1997 03:56:35 Data transfer rate:                  166.98 KB/sec
     02/27/1997 03:56:35 Average file size:                     11.2 KB
     02/27/1997 03:56:35 Elapsed processing time:            8:58:21

     The problem is the last line. Why did it take so long to complete this
     operation? Look at the middle of the log:

     02/26/1997 20:53:19 Expiring-->              6,273
     /sps/spedi/data/log/L-970217:070007.cl_mapout.ERR  Sent
     02/26/1997 20:53:24 ANS4102I ***** Processed   164,000 files *****
     02/27/1997 03:49:15 Expiring-->              3,840
     /sps/spedi/data/log/L-970217:070932.cl_MCLANE.ERR  Sent

     From 20:53 until 3:49, we got nothing done. But MeasureWare shows that
     dsmc cpu utilization was nearly 100% during that time. (There is other
     work running on the machine, after all!)

     This happens every night on this system.

     Any ideas about what could be causing this aberrant behavior?
