No HBAs?

2005-11-30 Thread Dameon White
I have a P3000 library with 4 DLT7000 tape drives that are on my san. The TSM server (5.3 on AIX 5.3) sees them and is happy. The Win2003 storage agent (with an LSI 929x 2gb hba and 5.3 stg agt) sees the 4 tape drives, but I am getting the following errors. From actlog: 11/30/2005 08:57:14

We just upgraded our TSM server and a few clients with GigE adapters. When I FTP a file from client to server, I am seeing approximately 65MB/sec. When I backup the client I am only seeing 11 MB/sec. Is there a setting that I forgot to set/adjust? Thanks for any help. DW Server AIX 5.1 ML4
