TSM Client V5.3.2.1, TDP for SQL V5.2.1, TSM Storage Agent V5.2.3.2 TSM Server V5.2.3.2. Windows 2003 Itanium Cluster with 2 servers.
We are doing some SQL backup testing today. We have a 2.5 TB database that we backed up at 477 GB/hr to 10 tape drives using LANFree (2.5 TB's in 5.1 hours). We started a logs backup of a 13 GB Log and it has been running for nearly 90 minutes so far. The backup mounted a tape via LanFree right away and has had the same tape mounted in the same tape drive this whole time. There are no errors being reported anywhere. On the command window where we started the TDP backup we see "Waiting for TSM server" with pages of periods ".". Then we see a message showing that is wrote some data. It keeps repeating that process. At the rate being displayed of 620.12 Kb/Sec it looks like the Log file backup is running at around 2 GB/hr. Any ideas what might be going wrong? We still have all the settings maxed: Buffers 8 Buffersize 8191 SQLBuffers 0 SQLBuffersize 4096 Stripes 10 These same settings didn't seem to effect the full backup adversly? --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!?
