There are a number of things to check : 1) Is the TSM database spread out over multiple disks ? Having the database spread over multiple disks will result in faster read/writes to disk and improve the performance.
2) Check the top ten processes on the server when the paging space is high : ps -A -Fpcpu,runame,pid,tty,args | sort -n -r | head 3) Run the following commands throughout the day to see the server stats and disk usage : vmstat 2 10 iostat 2 10 Rich -----Original Message----- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Miles Purdy Sent: Monday, September 20, 2004 9:04 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: AIX Paging Space Utilization I have also seen paging space issues my server that runs only TSM.

Host OS AIX 5.2 TSM Version 5.2.2.3 Physical Memory 12GB Dual CPU P630 TSM Database 1 36.6GB TSM Database 2 59.7GB I have two TSM instances running on the same box and recently (after a reboot) I've seen the paging space utilization increase dramatically. I've gotten to the point where I have to stop one of the instances of TSM and let the system recover paging space, then restart TSM. Anyone have any tips? I do think I may have my bufpoolsize settings a little high, at 1GB for each instance. I haven't experimented with lowering these settings. My cache hit is 99% consistently.
