Peter,

     Don't even think about it.  I have one ADSM server on OS/390 and four on
AIX.  There's no comparison.  Of course, my server is set up very different on
AIX (ADSM dedicated tape drives, etc.), but there is just too much competition
for cpu, tape devices, channel path resources, etc. on OS/390.

     Just my opinion .....

                         Ginny

Hello all,
I am somewhat new to the administration side of the ADSM and I have the task
of upgrading a 6 year old ADSM (AIX) implementation. I am seriously
considering implementing TSM 3.7 on our OS/390 platform. I have heard some
horror story of ADSM's performance in the MVS-OS/390 environment, but I have
also heard there has been considerable performance enhancements to TSM 3.7
running on OS/390.

Does anyone have any insight or views on this??
