The upgrade of the OS caused us a grief a couple of times. Here's the note from the readme:
********************************************************************** * Possible performance degradation due to threading * ********************************************************************** On some systems Tivoli Storage Manager for AIX may exhibit significant performance degradation due to TSM using user threads instead of kernel threads. This may be an AIX problem however, to avoid the performance degradation you should set the following environment variables before you start the server. export AIXTHREAD_MNRATIO=1:1 export AIXTHREAD_SCOPE=S ************************************************************************ Run the command "env |grep AIXTHREAD". If it does not come back with the 2 settings above, it may be your problem.

This upgrade was done by our IBM CE (it's a NSM with an 3494 ATL). After the upgrade the performance dropped dramatically. I think it's a problem with the database because the cache hit rate dropped below 95% - it was in the 99% area before. Nothing else was changed. Only AIX was upgraded to 4.3.3 and TSM was brought to 4.1.1.0. Are there any recommendations what settings I should change to bring performance back to normal?
