Michael,

What I understand that your data transfer rate over network went down to
200k after AIX OS upgrade. What is the level of ML you have upgraded ? What
was the previous level?

Thanks

Subject: slow restores on recently on AIX machines with recent OS upgrade


Hello, everyone.

We run a TSM server v 5.1 level 5.4 on an AIX 4.3 machine. The AIX
admins here have been upgrading their other servers to AIX v 5.1 with
the 32 bit kerenl. We've found that on the AIX upgraded machines that
TSM restores and HSM recalls from tape are performing horribly, with a
transfer rate of 200k every 20 - 30 seconds. To confuse the issue more,
we've found that with restores work with test files that were backed up
and then immediately restored, without being flushed to tape. Backups
perform as they always have. Restore performance is great on machines
that have not had the OS upgraded.

We've tested one server before and after the upgrade and saw the
performance drop with the upgrade. The servers are running TSM clients
at 5.1.0.6. Has anyone seen these symptons before?
