I've run into a problem on TSM 6.2.3 on Windows 2008 R2.  32 GB RAM, 4 6-core 
processors.

Issue: node backup statistics USED to report in the range of 2,000 KB/sec to 
10,000 KB/sec night after night for all nodes.

For the last few weeks, the rate is consistently less than 200 KB/sec; night 
after night.

Daytime tests are also 200 KB/sec or less, when no other server-side work 
(reclaim, dedup, table re-org, db backup) is running.

I've swapped network interfaces at the server, changed switch ports, changed 
switches, confirmed the ports are at 1 Gbps/full.  Rebooted at least 5 times.

V 6.2.3 was installed 4 weeks before the performance drop.

A backup of a 14 GB file now takes about 90 minutes, but I can copy that same 
14 GB file to the server in less than 2 minutes.

I don't see any related TSM interim fixes.  IC76984 is related to nodes getting 
hung and not completing , but backups are successful in my case; just extremely 
slow.

Some Windows security patches have been installed, forced by our security team.

Anyone else seeing similar behavior?  I'm preparing to open a PMR.
