Re: Slow backups

if you're not sure where the problem lies, as a first thing run a PERFORM
trace on the client to see where things are getting bottled up. if you
don't know how to interpret the result (or how to run a trace), look in
TSM's class materials. if you haven't followed a TSM administration class,
contact IBM support and go through the tracing procedure with them.they
will explain to you what to do, what numbers you are seeing, and what they
relate to.

Jacque, to eliminate the network as a bottleneck try ftp'ing a file
between the TSM server and the client. If the FTP is also slow, then you
have a network problem and not a TSM problem.

Subject: Slow backups

I am seeing very slow backups (320k/sec) from my clients.

I am using AIX 5.1 with TSM 4.2 and Linux client 4.2.

I have a 100meg connection to my clients.

I am using the recommended settings as called out in the
performance tuning guide.

Can someone point me to some information that I can use to
better tune this performance?

Jacque
