Hello to GSI,

please look under the 'fixtest' (not 'fixes') directory of the
index.storsys.ibm.com FTP-Server (or your local mirror).
There you will find the patched ADSM client for AIX which
allows you to correctly restore the missing links.

You still have to use the option 'USELARGEBUFERS NO'
which decreases overall performance of the ADSM system,
but you will get your missing links back, despite of
the USELARGEBUFFER setting the data was backed up.

(We also restored 6 GB of data with missing links
 and were glad to find the patched dsm afterwards...)

Bye,
/dh
