Hi...........

We are experiencing the same network speed problems on both AIX V5.3 and
MS W2Kx client servers.  Using TSM V5.3.4.2 AIX V5.3 server w/64GB
memory, 8-WAY IBM 9133-55A which is called cgoaix08/08z.  We have a
dedicated 1GB VLan backup subnet. 2TB of changed data per night at about
40MB/sec.  See below on timing results.

Forgot to mention; the backups/restores are on separate, dedicated
interfaces on both client and server, all at 1Gb full.

Still looking for an answer.  Will update with any resolution.

Hi Sam,
   I had a similar problem with a notes server running W2003.
I was using the tdp client for lotus notes.  My work around was to take
a
second network interface
on the server and lock both the port and the client down to 100/full
duplex. This tdp client is the only one I
have to run on this second interface and it works fine now. I don't know
if you have a hdwe. second interface, but if you
do, try adding another ip address and give it a try...TSM allows for the
use of more then one hdwe.  interface...

At any rate kindly let me know what your resolution is as I'm
interested...

thx jimmyd
