Hi, yes there are two lines for that specific filespace. One for primary and one for the copy stg pool. The strange thing is, that q occ shows me that there should be 441.000 files in the primary stgpool and q backup (-inact -subdir=yes) shows only 190.000 files. Am Mittwoch, den 22.02.2006

I have seen a 1 gigabit NIC run at speeds as fast as 450 megabits, for a sustained period of time, on an AIX TSM server. 450 megaBITs/sec is 162 gigaBYTEs/hour. In our 14-hour backup window, we typically back up 1TB of data. So your NIC is probably not the problem. Look first at your network - all

I can't speak to all brands/models since I haven't seen them all. However, all the brands/models of 1GB NIC that I have seen only work if set to auto. I've never seen an instance where forcing 1gb/full duplex was even an option. Of course, this also means that the switchport has to be set to auto

Chances are it's not a TSM issue at this point but a network issue. Usually speeds this slow on a GB infrastructure indicate that "auto-negotiation" is not working. ( never does ). Make sure all NIC's and switch ports are locked down to 1GB at full duplex. Gerald Michalak TSM - Certified V5 Admi

You are asking a hardware question. X86 will be different from RISC 6000 and I suspect OS/390 is really fast. What hardware? Are the HBAs sharing a bus? Are the NICs sharing a bus? What kind of bus are the cards in? What CPU? How fast? Is TSM running solo on the server? Are you going to disk? Tape?

Adam, This is only a guess, but maybe the move nodedata command is transferring compressed data. If the data isn't being decompressed upon read and re-compressed upon write then that would explain what appears to be lower tape utilization. See what the query nodedata command shows before and afte

If you have the luxury of re-creating the problem, try again and put TESTFLAG DISABLENQR in the dsm.opt file (search on DISABLENQR in the archives to see what people have said about this before). That turns off NQR and uses CLASSIC restore. It is known that sometimes CLASSIC will outperform NQR.

The dsmcad process can take a -se option, but sure about the -virtual node option though. I prefer to start it with the -optfile option so that if I have different domains (or filesystems) for each "instance" running on the client, each of them will pick up only the right filesystems. My
