hi all,

5.4.1.4 is not the solution (to solve nw performance issue) - our nw 
backup is still running about 8h, instead of 2-3h. We got a call open, 
just gone up to level 2, and we wait for the recall. IBM hasn't got any 
idea until now.

Reading this posting, tt looks like a general problem with tsm 5.4.x 
client software...


regards,
Dierk

         IBM has had several customers reporting this performance issue
after upgrading to level 5.4. APAR IC53531 was originally opened for this
for the NetWare platform only. We are now also seeing the same issue for
this APAR for customers on UNIX platforms as well. (However, this APAR 
does
not apply to Windows platforms.) For Netware, the interim fix is 5.4.1.4. 
I
do not have the date for the UNIX platforms yet.
