SUBJECT: FW: Anyone using the CLIOS connection between MVS and RS6000


Carol,

We have an ESCON connection between an ADSM for AIX client (Ver 2) on
an SP2 and the ADSM for MVS server (Ver 2 Rel 1 Level 13).  We have
been using CLIO/S to backup data from this server and are averaging
around 2 MB/sec with a single backup sesion.

I did some earlier testing using 3 simultaneous ADSM backup sessions
from the SP2 to the MVS server over ESCON using CLIO/s and saw
throughput at around 3 MB/sec.

We have only been using ESCON and CLIO/S in production for a few
weeks, but so far we haven't seen any problems.  The througput
for a single backup session is good, but in order to fully utilize
the bandwidth of the ESCON channel you have to run multiple backup
sessions going against different file systems simultaneously.
