We opened a ticket related to long replication times in a container pool after replication takes place, and got an answer that 'we can recreate your problem but it is likely working as designed' even though it's contrary to documentation. Any ideas would be appreciated.
-Two TSM servers at 7.1.5 -Single client going to a single container. Client backs up 12TB a night and after dedupe/compression, we see a 1TB change rate (approximately). -Once the backup is complete, we run a protect pool. It's expected that this process will ship 1TB to the DR site. -Protect completes successfully. -a replnode is issued against the node and TSM spends the next 4 hours replicating data to the DR site Support confirmed that the amount of data replicated in a replnode command is the same, regardless of the protect pool command status. However, the documentation leads me to be that if you have already protected the pool, the replnode should be a metadata only transfer. So while we are able to transfer and complete the processes, it seems to 'cost' us quite a bit in both IO and WAN usage to do so using containers, defeating the point of using containers to reduce replication costs. Any ideas as to what is going on? --------------------------------------------------- David Nixon Storage Engineer II Technology Services Group Carilion Clinic 451 Kimball Ave. Roanoke, VA 24015 Phone: 540-224-3903 cdni...@carilionclinic.org Our mission: Improve the health of the communities we serve. ________________________________ Notice: The information and attachment(s) contained in this communication are intended for the addressee only, and may be confidential and/or legally privileged.
