do you have tape drive compression and client compression turned on?
I've seen this before with AIT drives trying to compress already compressed
data...

Subject: Slow tape to tape performance...


Hi,

I am getting agonizingly slow (~1GB/hr) performance on tape to tape copies
(such as during reclamations).  Is this normal?  This is a new install,
fairly fresh with some basic policies and copy groups.  The server is an AIX
5.1 ML02 7026-M80 with 8GB RAM.  The tape library is an IBM 3584 with 8 FC
attached LTO drives.  TSM is at 5.1.5.4.  Any ideas would be appreciated.
