On the novell client there is a processorutilization option,
     does it exist for the novell adsm server ?  if so crank it up!
     Watch out for going to high 'cause you'll reach the point where TCP/IP
     can't get swapped in to move the data over the networks.

Hello ADSMers

We are having a performance problems with the Novell throughput
(backup).  The network transfer rate is 5,000Kb/sec and aggregate
transfer rates (98kb/sec).

The NT and Solaris platforms NTR rates are 5,000Kb/sec and the average
ATR is     ( we're happy with these numbers)

OS is Novell 4.11.
Network is 100Mb ethernet.
AIX ADSM server running 3.1.1.5, Two NICs forced 100Mb.
3575 Tape library

txngroupmax     256

We tested with compression on and off no change.

We also are getting the below error from the DSMerror.log


Tcp;Flush: Error 54 sending data on Tcp/IP socket 8
sessSendVerb: Error sending Verb, rc: -50
TcpFlush: Error 32 sending data on Tcp/Ip socket 8
ANS1809E Session is lost; initializing session reopen procedure

TcpRead: Zero byte buffer read.
sessRecvVerb: Error -50 from call to 'readRtn'
cuConfirm: Received rc: -50 trying to receive ConfirmResp verb

Any help would be appreciated.
