This is not an AIX issue. TSM's export node command, when you use it to move actual client data, has been glacially slow since day one on all OS platforms and all network configurations. Per the architects the export function is a very low priority item, so little work appears to have been done to fix it. The next best thing to do is run EXPORT NODE with no client data movement, point the node's new backups at the new server, and let a few months of expiration thin out the node's data on the old server. Then just ditch the node's filespaces on the old server. -- Mark Stapleton ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Senior consultant
