I must have under utilized my shift key, you are correct, for every 1Gb, you in theory can get 100MB/sec. I am not sure how slow the LTO4 can write, if it cannot go slow enough there may be some shoe shining. The external disks sound fine, the internals will depend on the config and controllers,

1 Gb Ethernet is about 100Mb/sec LTO4 is about 120Mb/sec + compression A good SCSI or FC drive is good for about 100Mb/sec Assuming you can stream 3 threads across the Ethernet, you will not be able to keep the 3 LTO4 drives busy because of the network. The faster tape drives were not intended

Looking at the config, this appears to be lanfree backup client. If the lanfree is broken, then normally TSM client will default to tcpip over lan. If this is so, then I do see TSM storage agent version mismatch. From what I understand, TSM server code and TSM storage agent should match. Is it po

In my experience, "smart load balancing" does not really exist. I thought I had heard of it, so I went looking on my system to see if it was doing anything to help. If the Database has plenty of room in it, and you add a new extent in hope of spreading out the I/O load, that extent will not be use
