That is a new one on me. Per the last Performance Tuning Guide, a bit long in the tooth, LARGECOMMBUFFERS was recommended Yes.
So let me get this straight: Windows clients - set LARGECOMMBUFFERS to No UNIX, Novelll, etc. - set LARGECOMMBUFFERS to Yes How about UNIX clients backing up to a TSM Server on Windows? -- Joshua S.

If you do not do this, then some of the files will not be updated "in place", and you will be prompted to reboot in order to pick up the changes. As to the performance problem, there are no other changes you need to make to make it work, except, that in general, you should always avoid using LARGECOMMBUFFERS YES on Windows Regards, Andy Andy Raibeck IBM Software Group Tivoli Storage Manager Client Development Internal Notes e-mail: Andrew Raibeck/Tucson/IBM@IBMUS Internet e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] The only dumb question is the one that goes unasked.

This fixtest appears to also fix the RC 4 probem and the performance problem. Can you tell us a little more about the performance problem fix. Are there any changes that we might want to look at besides installing the fixtest. PS in the readme file it says that for an uninstall of the client, one should stop the tsm services first. Should this also be done if doing an upgrade. An upgrade from 4.2?
