Good afternoon all

I'm running TSM 4.2.2.12 on a Solaris 7 Machine and am in the never ending
search for ways to imrpove / check performance of our server as we are
getting some massive (and I mean huge) variations in backup and restore
times from machine to machine.

Our Solaris box is a 1CPU 400Mhz with 1GB Ram.
Database = 8500Mb (81% utilised) on a A1000 Storage Array (RAID5)
Buffpoolcache is 64Mb

Right now I'm running expiration on the database. Nothing else is running
at all. I have printed the output of the vmstat command and was wondering
if it looks acceptable. The output is as follows :-

The cache hit ratio is running at 98.14 at present.
