I haven't run any throughput tests against NDMP yet, but I'm curious to see what kind of numbers it can do. If the TSM server runs on AIX, you can look at the output from "vmstat -i 1" to see how many interrupts are are being processed per second. Going to jumbo packets and using interrupt mitig

On our NT 4.0 servers we run 5.1.6.0 which has been stable enough that we have not wanted to upgrade it. I think there is a 5.1.7.0 and a 5.1.8.0. The last one has the security bug fix. I do not think 5.2 or higher will run on NT 4.0. And as far as IBM is concerned, you are on your own. Our ser

I'm planning to archive a large list of specific files, scattered all over a biggish fileserver. I can generate a text file with the paths to all the files I want to archive and plan to use it as a TSM filelist. Is there a limit to how big a filelist can be, or to how many lines it can contain?
