Re: slow restores on recently on AIX machines with recent OS upgrade

2003-08-15 Thread Steve Harris
There's an IP bug in AIX 5.1 which has this symptom. Latest RML should have the fix.

Search the archives, as it has been discussed before.  I'd do it myself, but I our 
http proxy is down again.

Hello, everyone.

We run a TSM server v 5.1 level 5.4 on an AIX 4.3 machine. The AIX
admins here have been upgrading their other servers to AIX v 5.1 with
the 32 bit kerenl. We've found that on the AIX upgraded machines that
TSM restores and HSM recalls from tape are performing horribly, with a
transfer rate of 200k every 20 - 30 seconds. To confuse the issue more,
we've found that with restores work with test files that were backed up
and then immediately restored, without being flushed to tape. Backups
perform as they always have. Restore performance is great on machines
that have not had the OS upgraded.

We've tested one server before and after the upgrade and saw the
performance drop with the upgrade. The servers are running TSM clients
at 5.1.0.6. Has anyone seen these symptons before?

Michael,

What I understand that your data transfer rate over network went down to
200k after AIX OS upgrade. What is the level of ML you have upgraded ? What
was the previous level?

Thanks
Balanand Pinni

To clarify my previous message, the speed of restores and recalls from
tape are at 200k every 20 secs or so. Backups run at their normal speed.

The AIX 5.1 machines are running at ML 4. According to the AIX admins
here, they were previously at either 8, 9 or 10.

Are you using the Sp Switch? I had a problem the SP Switch after the
AIX 5 upgrade.
Miles

Although the software is configured, it is not being used.
