Hi,
we are planing 5.5 - to 6.2 upgrade and as a part of testing we repeatedly tried the 'dsmserv insertdb' step.
The problem is that a week ago it lasted 11 hours. Now after a server reinstall it takes 31 hours. And we dont know why. Simply said, the dsmserv process doesnt make use of hardware, some numbers:
cpu utilization: +- 60% (dsmserv itself takes about 52-55 % of available CPUs)
hdisk activity (by iostat) <1 % tm_act for involved disks, iowaits 0-1%
paging - negigible/none, page space use < 1%
Memory usage of whole box: physical: 35% (after launching insertd and slowly growing), RSS for the dsmserv proces: 224208
dsmserv.opt:
COMMMethod TCPIP
DEVCONFIG .....
VOLUMEHISTORY ....
COMMMETHOD SHAREDMEM
SHMPort 1510
ACTIVELOGDirectory ......
ARCHLOGDirectory .....
(that is all)
dsmserv insertdb gives on errors on console
31 hours is too long for us and in addition to this I am afraid that the slowness would show also during normal operation.
The server is old P5 server with 2 CPU / 32 GB memory (everything dedicated to the tsm server)
TSM version: 6.2.5.0
AIX: 6100-05-09-1228
Any idea what can be wrong?
Regards
