Roy This option increases communication and device I/O buffers. The communication I/O buffer is used during data transfer with a client session, such as a backup session. The disk I/O buffer is used when data is read from or written to a disk storage pool. Reads and writes are quicker and server resources are better utilized. By reducing CPU utilization, more clients can concurrently be serviced, improving overall system performance.

The TSM performance guide says to set it to "YES". It says that for files > 500 KB, Tivoli uses large communication buffers. Does anyone know what this really does? Does it use larger socket writes? Is this only something done inside Tivoli? Or is it really about I/O and not about communications? Roy J. Martin EDS - GDS - Data Management - BUR group mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
