My company runs TSM 5.1.8.1 on Sun E4500's with 4 procs and 4GB of RAM. I have tried twice now, once on 4.2 and now on 5.1 to add more processors (either 2 or 4) and TSM performance drops through the floor. Has anyone else seen this behavior? Normally, starting the server fresh only takes 10-15 minutes to mount all of the volumes and bring everything online, but with the additional processors, it takes hours. I have tried it on several machines with different code levels with the same effect. I have also tried it on both Solaris 2.6 and 8, same effect. Any suggestions from the peanut gallery?
