Hello All:

We recently upgraded our ADSM 3.1.2.40 server to TSM 3.7.4.

Client backups and archives seem to be functioning OK under new server with the 
exception of a Novell server.

Daily incremental backups run as before with ADSM server, but archives seem to 
be running excessively slow.

For example we have volume that contains approximately 25 GB of data.  Before 
the upgrade, an archive of the
volume would take between 4.5 - 6 hours depending on what else was running at 
the time.

After this server upgrade, we have attempted to archive the volume twice.  The 
first time, we assumed something was wrong and cancelled the job, but did not 
see any errors in the actlog.  After reviewing dsmsched/dsmerror logs on the 
client, it appears the archive was running properly, just slow.  One more 
attempt yielded the same results (10-20 % of volume archive after approx. 7+ 
hours).

Novell client running Netware 5.0 SP8
ADSM client is 3.1.0.8
Volumes are not NSS
Client not compressing data - slow processor/decent size network pipe

We are planning to upgrade the client to TSM 3.7, but I am just curious if 
anyone has encountered a similar experience - just in case the client upgrade 
does not have any affect on the problem.

Thanks.
