Paul, I know it's been a while since you posted this but I wanted to share my insights. We've received the same complaints. The problem is not TSM per se, but the fact that I/O is interrupt-based and the interrupt service routines run at high-priority. This also affects any scan process, includ

Paul, If the tsm clients are running under linux, you could use CBQ (Class Based Queueing) to perform traffic shapping on the output traffic of the nic. This works pretty well. Google for CBQ Linux. . On 4/25/06, Andrew Raibeck <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Seems that every action has some re-a

Thanks Richard, et al, I thought the default RESOURCEUTIL was also the minimal value, so I don't think we could lower that any more than it already is. Using MEMORYEFFICIENTBACKUP is a good idea, as is using 'nice' to deprioritize. We have actually been working hard to improve TSM performance s

Turn on client-side compression so you monopolize their cpu instead? Sorry, couldn't resist. You have a problem some of us wish we had. Usually the filesystem scanning takes long enough that it creates pauses in the use of the nic (at least here). You might be able to intentionally hobble tsm's n

Paul - Certainly, "de-tuning" the TSM backups will reduce the impact, where the most obvious tactic is to minimize RESOURceutilization. And you can get more drastic via MEMORYEFficientbackup Yes. Depending upon the file population, the influx of the Active files list at the beginning of an increm

We have a small number of users here who are complaining that when a TSM backup runs on their client system, it monopolizes use of their network card. They are looking for a way to throttle back TSM's use of the network. Has anyone else run into this? Any ideas? The only thing I've come up wit
