There has been a lot of discussion in the last year on this mailing list about 
using raw LVs vs. mounted filesystems, both for the Solaris TSM server and 
Solaris TSM client. Also, check your routing tables.

        TSM client 5.2.2.0 on a Solaris 7 server, gigabit fibre Ethernet 
adapter.
        TSM Server 5.2.2.1 on AIX 5.2 p630 with fibre gigabit Ethernet. 
Different
        VLAN.
        
        During the backup of this client (actually 4 out of 11 Solaris clients) 
the
        backup just drags along. Looking at the sessions on the server we see 
the
        session in RecvW state, but the wait time just goes up and 
up..sometimes in
        the double-digits before more data goes in.
        
        Doing a large FTP to that server (130MB) took just a few seconds. The 
other
        7 Solaris clients, same TSM client, same OS level, backup like you would
        expect over gbit.
        
        According to the switch, the ports which are configured for 
autonegotiate,
        are at full speed and duplex.
        
        Anyone got ideas? Searching the archive brings hits on 10/100 ethernet
        adapters not being set correctly.
