Patrick You don't mention your version of TSM server or h/w platform and this is a fairly old APAR but I thought I'd mention it.
APAR IC47731 deals with poor performance on Linux kernel 2.6 on zSeries.

It has worked well for us except for one thing. Every time we try to update the OS to anything using a 2.6 kernel (CentOS 4.4 for example) the TSM server performs terribly under load. For example, at 10:00pm when about 15 machines start a backup you can not get an admin console to start for about 5 to 10 minutes. We always end up going back to RedHat 8 with 2.4.x kernel. From all the testing we have done it appears that the 2.6.x kernel is the problem. > > Regards Mark > > > > Mark Scott > > Enterprise Storage & Tivoli Team Leader > > Bunnings Group Limited > > 126 Pilbara Street, Welshpool WA 6106 > > Locked Bag 20, Welshpool DC WA 6985 > > Phone : (08) 9365 1779 > > Fax : (08) 9350 6686 > > Mobile : 0408925402 > > E-mail : [EMAIL PROTECTED] <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > > > > ************************************************************************ > Bunnings Legal Disclaimer: > > 1) This email is confidential and may contain legally privileged > information.
