Hi Gary, We don't use NFS for our TSM servers, but we have been struggling with NFS over 10GbE in other areas. While not a universal solution, we've gotten significant performance improvements by disabling the following NIC offload options: gro lro rxvlan txvlan rxhash For instance, you can disa

Hi Gary What performance does Iperf3 get when you run it on your NFS server? There is a lot that is going on that has very much to do with your disk configuration on both your TSM server and the NFS server. Have you looked at a tool like iometer to see what performance you can squeeze out of you

Zoltan SO sorry, my original TSM reference was a hair stale -- try this one: https://www-01.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSGSG7_7.1.1/com.ibm.itsm.perf.doc/t_perf_diskos_lnx.html I understand you have constraints, so I am not telling you to do something you cannot do. What I am saying is - yo

I understand and we have been using ext4 since it was available. All of my stgpools are ext4. The DB filesystem is ext3 per the requirements in the document you referenced for setting up TSM on Linux. However, they are spread across 2-ext4 filesystems due to the 16TB limit for ext4. Are you say
