This is a weird one and I have opened a pmr with IBM but I thought I would 
check with you all and see if anyone had any ideas what is going on.
I have a TSM 6.3.4.300 server running on RHEL5 with all the latest maintenance 
installed, and when I try to connect to it via an admin session, either locally 
from within the server via loopback (127.0.0.1) or remotely using an admin 
client, it seems to take several minutes before I connect and get any response 
back. SSHing into the server is almost immediate so it's not the OS. The server 
is not extremely busy and this happens when it is doing almost nothing and is 
very consistent. I have an almost identical TSM server that does not have this 
problem at all. I can immediately connect via an admin client and I immediately 
get a response. I have compared both the dsmserv.opt files on both servers as 
well as the /etc/sysctl.conf files and nothing seems to be out of place. I 
don't see anything odd in the db2diag.*.log file either. I'm just not sure 
where else to look or what could be causing this but it is definitely affecting 
backup performance since the backup clients can take several minutes just to 
connect to the server.
Ideas?
