I am here again, I know there is people out there that have large shops that perform
the backup in parallel to more than one tape drive. I am unable to do this, I wonder
what I am doing wrong. Can someone help? I will be very gratefull, I am desperate to
start production in this customer.
My situation is the following:
HP-UX 11.0
TSM 3.7.3 server
TSM 3.7.2 client
I am using 2 3590 drives in a 3494.
The client is in the same system as the server, and the major aplication is SAP with
an Oracle data base of 210 GB spread in multiple filespaces.
We have in the client resourceutilization 7, a maxnumpt 2 (two drives), in the storage
pool collocation turned on.
In the dsm.opt file we include all filespaces we want the system to backup, around 20
of them.
We hope to see both tapes being used, there is no other session running at the time of
backup, but what we see is the first tape used until it finish, normally with the
error I posted yesterday, and then the second drive is used with another tape, but
never both tapes simultaneously.
What I am doing wrong or what else need to be done to start both sessions in parallel?
The system creates multiple sessions but appears that they are not used, is very
complicated to understand the log and see what happen.
I really apreciate any help you could give, documentation appears not to have any
information on parallel sessions, you are my only hope.
Many thanks
Maria
