ADSM V3 DRM Disk Image Dump and Restore

Tuning Performance

You can use the CFGCOMM command to change some parameters that can affect performance. The parameters are:

MTU

Maximum transmission unit, a TCP/IP setting for the machine

TCPWINDOWSIZE

The size of the TCP/IP sliding window for the ADSM client

TCPBUFFSIZE

The size of the internal communications buffer for the ADSM client

See the performance tuning information at the ADSM web site for recommendations on using these options. The URL is:

You can modify default parameters for the network interface card in the protocol.ini file. See Customizing Parameters for a Network Adapter for more information.

The network that connects the machine and the ADSM server also affects performance. Performance can be no better than the network itself.
