EXPORT NODE with a CLOPTSET

I'm having some surprising things happen when doing an EXPORT NODE directly to another server, on a node that has a CLOPTSET defined. Both servers are TSM 5.5 on AIX. I exported a node from one server to another, which has a cloptset defined, and the cloptset exists on both source and target serve

Wow, it's amazing how much data is caught up in retries. On one of our larger instances, the amount transferred is 2.8TB but only 1.3TB was a part of the storage pool backup! Are retries the only explanation of this? Regards, Shawn Shawn Drew

Another possible cause: at the beginning of a "dsmc inc ..." job, the TSM server sends the client lots of metadata, ie, a list of the files it currently has. The client then walks its local disk to see what's changed. If the client has 10 million files, that metadata can be significant. You can s

No, this isn't internal compression. If you look at the sched log for the clients, do you see and failed messages? For instance, let's say you have copy serialization set to one of the shared options (sharedynamic, sharestatic). If the client starts to move the file, then it opens, then it cl
