Thanks for the tip but my cache hit percentage is in the low 99s for both
my AIX and Win2K TSM servers. The issue is more likely related to the
version of Novell and its components based on reading and comments from
others... Here is where we are at:
TSA500 5.03
TSANDS 5.25
SMDR 5.04
The Novell admins are hesitant to put on TSA5UP7 or TSA5UP8 because these
are still beta but contain important fixes that apparantly TSM likes
(speedwise)
Any other hints/suggestion would be VERY appreciated. Backups are taking
forever on these Novell 5 boxes...

On the TSM server side, run "query db format=detail" and check the "Cache
Hit Pct" line.
If it is under 98%, you need to increase the number of database buffers in
the TSM server.

I now have two Novell clients; one each hung off AIX 433 / TSM 4145 and
Win2K / TSM 415 respectively. These clients are at Novell 5.0 SP5 with TSM
client 413. I have compression turned off in the dsm.opt file. I get
repreated indications in
the activity logs from both TSM servers that such and such a file can't be
backed up because it is not found.

D_08_96/COMPMKTS.XLS': file not found
Performance is terrible. I sure could use some help with this issue.
Incremental backups are in the 8 hour range...
