On the TSM server side, run "query db format=detail" and check the "Cache
Hit Pct" line.
If it is under 98%, you need to increase the number of database buffers in
the TSM server.

I now have two Novell clients; one each hung off AIX 433 / TSM 4145 and
Win2K / TSM 415 respectively. These clients are at Novell 5.0 SP5 with TSM
client 413. I have compression turned off in the dsm.opt file. I get
repreated indications in
the activity logs from both TSM servers that such and such a file can't be
backed up because it is not found.

02/08/02   16:14:40      ANE4005E (Session: 1271, Node: ADSM_PEACH1)  Error
                          processing
'DATA2:/PFC/BRAND/SJM/BRAND/B_REVIEW/BR1996/P-
                          D_08_96/COMPMKTS.XLS': file not found

Performance is terrible. I sure could use some help with this issue.
Incremental backups are in the 8 hour range...
