        Subject:        Sloooow Novell Backups


TSM server 4.2.1.9 on Solaris 8

TSM 5.1 client on Novell 5.1

Backing up a volume with 500,000 files approx 1k each.  The files are
being transfered to the tsm server approx 1/sec.  This is just a little
too sloooooow.  When using ftp to transfer these same files, either by
getting/putting the transfers fly.  This is leading me to believe that the
issue is with the TSM server/client settings.

Does anybody have any ideas on any settings in the dsm.opt that could be
changed to enhance performance?  Also I want to bind all objects in two of
the volumes to a specific mgt class.  All that is being bound to it is the
dirs.  Long day.  What am I doing wrong???

Here is the dsm.opt

This will work for the files.
