We are running TSM V5.2.2.1 for Solaris on a Solaris 2.8 server. I am not a Unix admin. The Unix support team loaded and licensed Veritas Quick I/O. According to the TSM Performance tuning guide you either want to use Quick I/O or RAW volumes when defining DB, LOG, or Disk pool volumes on Solaris. Because our Oracle Administrators use Quick I/O we decided to use it on our TSM server. I was under the assumption that all you have to do is install Quick I/O and everything will be faster. Due to the fact that we are currently getting extremely poor performance when backing up to disk as opposed to tape I believe there must be more we have to do in order to get the bennifits of Quick I/O.
Is anyone out there running TSM on a Solaris Server using Quick I/O? If so what did you have to do in order to get Quick I/O to speed things up? --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Finance: Get your refund fast by filing online
