Ftp a large file (twice, to ignore disk-to-mem buffering the first time)
between the two suspect systems.
That gives you a network performance reading, while tkaing TSM completely
out of the picture.

Subject: What needs to be done - HP TCP/IP tuning when converting from
ATM the GB ethernet
The network between a HP client and a SUN server was recently changed from
ATM to GB ethernet.
Since that conversion the rate of transfer for the backups has become
ridiculously slow.
We have yet to prove that the change of network topology is the cause though
it is the obvious place to start.
Can anyone offer any suggestions how to check if the IP config on HP is
tuned for ATM and what would the appropriate settings for ethernet.
The HP box is a HP 9000 K class
Thanks
