One thing I've seen with regard to 100Mb Ethernet is to make sure that the
cards are not set to auto-negotiate. Instead set them for the speed and
duplex of your network. I have seen cards negotiate to 100Mb, but
half-duplex. Both on clients and the TSM servers on different platforms (NT,
AIX,...).

Subject: Performance problem on some clients
Hello,
Any help would be appreciated.
We are seeing a ADSM performance problem with the IBM Netfinity 7000 M10
machines. Given a 16mb file it will take 2min to backup the one file on a
100mb ethernet network to our ADSM server. The same file on a IBM
netfinity 7000 or Compaq Proliant will take under 2 seconds. All our M10
machines have the same performance problem. We have tried a variety of IBM
and Compaq NIC cards with out success. One of the machines with a
performance problem is a 7RY 4 way 500MZH with 4 gig of memory. We are
also seeing the same type of problem with the IBM F50 AIX boxes. Anyone
have any experience with these machines and ADSM?
