TSM 6.3.3 on Windows (server), TDP for SAP on Oracle 6.4, TSM client 6.4.0.0 on 
Linux.
The Oracle DBs are compressed.

OK, I'm just the back-end server support.
No speakum SAP.

DBA did the support to set up SAP/TDP with RMAN, I'm pretty clueless.
Backups have been running beautifully, for months.
Then he left, alas.

Now a new different DBA is trying to get restores to run and they are slow as 
dirt.
One obvious problem is that on backups 2 sessions run in parallel, which back 
up in 4 total sessions as viewed from the server side.
Upon the restore they are running one at a time.

I know where to find the api/bin64 directory with the appropriate dsm.sys, and 
I know where to find the
/oracle/SID/112_64/dbs directory and look at the initSID.utl file.
That file has maxsessions 2 in it.

Where else should I look to see why the restore is only starting 1 session at a 
time?
Is that something controlled via BRtools or RMAN?
