Geoff,

Check these settings, they apply to 1Gig Ether.

original settings:
sb_max = 1048576
udp_recvspace = 42080
udp_sendspace = 9216
tcp_recvspace = 16384
tcp_sendspace = 16384
rfc1323=0

The following settings have been applied:
no -o sb_max=2097152
no -r -o sb_max=2097152

no -o udp_sendspace=65536
no -r -o udp_sendspace=65536

no -o udp_recvspace=65536
no -r -o udp_recvspace=65536

no -o tcp_recvspace=262144
no -r -o tcp_recvspace=262144

no -o tcp_sendspace=262144
no -r -o tcp_sendspace=262144

no -o rfc1323=1
no -r -o rfc1323=1

Hope this help...

Subject: [ADSM-L] Gig utilization during backups


I'd like to get some input on what others see on their port utilization
during heavy network traffic. With 350+ systems backing up to a single
TSM
server I'm curious as to why we see only about 50% utilization on the
GIG
port with max scheduled sessions set to 95. Sessions run extremely long
compared to when they were on the old system.



What have others seen their systems and what do you have set for max
scheduled sessions?



I still feel like this system, which has 4 CPU's is not nearly as fast
at
moving data than my 2 CPU system was and the setup is very similar.



AIX 5.3 - TSM 5.3.3.0 - 4 CPU's - 4GB memory - Gig interface





Thanks,
