Akash,
         We are going to need a LOT more information on this performance
issue to try and help. If you wish to use the resources of this listserv (a
GREAT resource), we are going to need to know:

 1. TSM Server platform and level
        SUN SOLARIS 8
                2. TSM release level
        IBM TIVOLI VERSION 5.1
                 3. Client platform and level
                AIX 4.3.3
                 4. What type of database is it that you're backing up?
                ORACLE DATABASE
                 5. More information about the network: card type, switch
type, etc.
        SAN SWITCH 2109
                6. disk subsystem on the TSM server
                         7. Whether or not you're using RAID and what type
                RAID 5
                 8. Filesystem type on TSM server
        UFS FILESYSTEM
                9. Disk subsystem on client (IOSTAT OBSERVATION WHEN THE
SYSTEM IS BUSY BUT BACKUP IS TAKEN IN NIGHT WHEN SYSTEM IS HIGH ON
RESOURCES)

10. Filesystem type on client
JFS FILE SYSTEM ON AIX 4.3.3

         If you provide this (for starters), we can try an help. Another
suggestion: if you would like to work with IBM/TSM software support, open a
PMR with IBM and ask for TSM performance assistance. Our department works
these PMRs and can try and assist.
