Customer reporting AIX client 6.2 backup times almost double after upgrading the OS from AIX 5.3 to AIX 6.1.
This is on just 45 chunky files in 1 filesystem, so it's not about scanning the directory tree. The disk is EMC VMAX tiered storage, which is good and fast. And a client trace shows 70% of the time is in file I/O. So everything so far points to the issue being in the AIX upgrade, not a problem in the client. The customer has opened a problem ticket with AIX support and one with TSM support, but no results so far, except the client trace points the accusing finger at AIX. Just asking here, if anybody else has seen this already and can help, before we head down the crit-sit highway....
