I was hit by this when I switched to gigabit. Took some work with my network guys & IBM to get all the settings correct. The performance difference was incredible.

I've installed TSM 5.2 on a AIX box (5.1 64 bits) and left all the default parameters . The performances over a Gbit network are poor , backups of 4 GB taking over 35min (5.1.5 AIX client) . There is no load on server , the disk is busy 5% . Do u have any idea what could causing poor performance and what can be done ? thanks, Mada
