Is "Data transfer time: " a large percentage of "Elapsed processing time:"
If so you have a network issue

Subject:  Slow AIX Client backup



        I have an AIX client that is backing up very slow. It is an IBM J50
running an application called Softlab. It use to take
    4 1/2 hours per night going to tape. When we put it on TSM for testing
it was doing 4 gb in about 4 hours. Which I said
    was slow, compared to are other AIX boxes. We checked the NIC and the
switch settings both are at 100/full. They had
    no problem with this cause it was still a half hour quicker then what
they had. Now we have put it into the rotation and
    they are screaming it has doubled to like 8 hours. I only being the
administrator and not knowing much about the network
    group or the AIX systems group, do not know what else to check. Does
anybody have any clues for me? I am running
    TSM server ver 4.2.3 (on AIX 4.3.3)  client ver 4.2.2.1

     Thanks
