Hi Eric

Your settings seems ok - I have a couple of questions to you:

Do you have compression enabled on the files in question?
Do you run antivirus on this server? if yes, which product?

Do you know config.nlm from Novell? If so you could use it, and I would be 
happy to go through the config.txt for you?

Regards

Emne: Slow backup from Netware of small files


Dear All,

ENVIRONMENT
==============
TSM Server 5.2 on AIX 5.1
TXNGROUPMAX                     256
TCPWINDOWSIZE                  64


TSM Backup/Archive Client 5.2 on Netware 5
TSANDS.NLM ver 10110.95
TSA500.NLM ver 5.05d
SMDR.NLM ver 6.50c
TCPWINDOWSIZE                      64
TCPBUFSIZE                                 32
LARGECOMMBUFFERS           NO
TXNBYTELIMIT                            25600
PROCESSORUTILIZATION    10
RESOURCEUTILIZATION         5

Gigabit Network

PROBLEM
=========
Whilst backup performance of large files is very good (approx 16 MB/s) the
backup performance of small files (50 KB to 300KB) is extremely poor (300
KB/s).
Backups are straight to a diskpool.
I'd be interested in hearing from anyone with any experience of successful
backup of small files in a Netware environment, or anyone who has any ideas
as to what might be done to improve the situation.

Thanks as always,


Eric Winters
