Dear Team,

I am facing very strange issue in my environment and i would desperatly
looking for some help.

We have recently applied below AIX patch on SAP servers and it cause the BR
Offline backup to pretty slow.

Vulnerability in LDAP Authentication
JRE hangs when converting Java
Multiple vulnerabilities in AIX BIND
Sudo format string vulnerability
Vulnerability in ICMP packet handling
TCP network packet denial of service

AIX: 6100-06-05-1115
TSM server : 5.5.6.1
Storage Agent Version: 5.5.6.0
TDP for R3 : 5.5.0.0
TSM BA Client : 5.5.3.4

BR Online backup running fine( both LAN and LAN-Free backup)
BR Offline backup running fine only in LAN based backup but in LAN-Free
backup it's very slow.
While BR Offline backup runs, i have tested some file level backup over the
storage agent and backup throughput was really good.( Transfered 22 GB of
data and it took only 4 min)

We have applied the AIX patches on 4 servers( 3 SAP Oracle, 1 Oracle) and
all the four servers the BR Offline backups are running very slowly. I have
raised the PMR but they are not ready to help at this moment( due to
performance issue)

Here is the one piece transfer speed.
