Re: Nightly backup takes longer after upgrade from V4R5 to V5R1

Diana,

I do not have an answer but are some recomendations -

o  If you applied all the database PTF (s) I suggest to also apply the
lates cumm package.
o  Can you compare V4R5 storage to your V5R1 storage ?
o  Check for history logs, journal receivers, save files, folders, IFS,
libraries
   .. check to see if you can clean up your DASD.
o  Check to see what objects have been created around the time you upgraded
to V5R1
   DSPOBJD .. check for creation dates. Maybe new logical files with huge
access paths
o  Check for system errors associated to the tape drive. Print the error
log
   Do you think the hardware that transports the data to your tape drive is
faulty ?
o  Give IBM a call and/or  Visit the iSeries support center

I hopr this helps

regards

Jorge
