I have a Linux box running oracle and using rman/TSM for Oracle for backup and
restores.
TDPO is 5.5.1.0. The TSM client API is 6.3.0.0. The TSM Server, running on
AIX, is 6.2.4.0.
Backups times are acceptable, approximated 250GB in an hour using two rman
channels. This drives the TSM server 1G Ethernet link at about 80MB/sec.
Restores are so slow I do not have a time yet for restoring the 250GB. The
linux server has no load; top shows:
top - 14:54:09 up 4:39, 8 users, load average: 0.03, 0.02, 0.00
Tasks: 274 total, 1 running, 273 sleeping, 0 stopped, 0 zombie
Cpu(s): 0.0%us, 0.1%sy, 0.0%ni, 99.9%id, 0.0%wa, 0.0%hi, 0.0%si, 0.0%st
Mem: 16463088k total, 16368212k used, 94876k free, 305156k buffers
Swap: 8388600k total, 0k used, 8388600k free, 15201560k cached
TSM "q sess f=d" commands against the two TDPO sessions issued every 15 seconds
shows each thread in a SendW state that lasts about 3.5 minutes, then the
client receives a chunk of data, then goes into another 3.5 minute SendW. This
repeats:

So what is rman/oracle doing in the 3.5 minutes between its contacts with TSM?
Any ideas for to fix this or at least how to troubleshoot it?
