hi!

AIX 4.3.3 server memory 4GB pagingspace 8GB 4 processors 750Mhz
tsm client 4.1.2
tsm server adsm 3.1

I'm trying to restore a 26 GB progress database which is devided into parts
of 2 GB each.
the restore is from one AIX 4.3 server to another TSM client version is 4.1
server version is adsm 3.1 
. my command looks as following:
root@serverX>dsmc -virtualnode=serverY
dsmc>restore -pick -subdir=yes "/fs/dir/*" "/test/dir" (so the sourcedir is
from serverY and the destinationdir is on serverX)

No I've tried doing it all at once (which is of course ridiculous) and it
crashed on being out of memory.
so I tried doing 2 GB at a time, it still crashed. I did a monitor on the
use of memory while restoring 2 GB , and saw tsm steadily eating away at 1GB
of (shared) memory, using one processor at100% and NOT using any paging
space.
when the restore is at about 1.50GB it crashes.

Now, I now there is a memory efficient option to do a backup. Is there also
a memory efficient way to do a restore?
Why doesnt the client use the pagingspace? 

thnx,
mi©helle
