We have done exactly what you are suggesting on AIX 4.3.3 ML10. The only thing we did find beneficial was to set an alternative etherchannel address. Without doing this we used to get a lot of issues on the network switches (high end Cisco ones, sorry I can't be more helpful on this one).
With regards to performance I have seen TSM read in at over 100MB (Yes megabytes not megabits) per second sustained. Many thanks Andy Wilcox UNIX Systems Administrator Aquila Networks -----Original Message----- From: Cynthia Leon [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 13 January 2004 14:32 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: TSM etherchannel adapter We are running TSM 5.1.7 on a AIX 5.1 box.
