Hi everybody,
I know this is a subject that comes very often, and that various answers were already give, but, after searching through the list archives, I am still not totally sure of what I should do: I have a TSM Server that does his backups not quite fast. First, I thought of a network problem, but it is a dedicated backup network running at 1Gb/s and I only get backups at 10GB/hour. And, the internal server operations (reclamation, backup stgpool) are also slow. Right now, I am looking at the console a backup stg process which is running for almost 2 hours and has backed up only 38GB. It is a new pool, so there is no time spent searching the new files, and all the data came from one volume. My setup is: TSM Server 4.2.0.0 (Client wants to upgrade to 5.1) AIX 4.3.3 ML9 on an F80 with 2 CPUs ATAPE 5.4.2.0 Storage is: IBM3584 with 6 IBM LTO drives. Microcode level is 16E0 The site belongs to a customer who doesn�t like very much applying patches. Should I try to convince him to upgrade TSM/ATAPE/Microcode? Or is there anther issue? Thank you in advance for your attencion Paul van Dongen
