Re: Restore on V5R4 after upgrade painfully slow

[Pat Barber <mboceanside@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

This is pretty late news since you are already into the conversion:

It sounds like several hundred libraries are involved and with a LOT
of logicals, that could take a while.

After the backup IBM moved the 2749 card and installed it in a 595 expansion unit and connect the 3581 Ultrium 2. We restored the user profiles and cfg information with no problems. We then started the 'RSTLIB savlib(*nonsys) dev(tap02 option(*new) alwobjdif(*all) mbrobt(*all) frcobjcvn(*no) endopt(*leave) omitobj(qofc)'. I calculated that the libraries consist of about 50GB. The restore is restoring about 300 libraries every 5.5 hours. It is running crazy slow and we can’t figure out why.
