Rick, What type of storeage system are you using? Does it have the necessary I/O capability to allow the throughput you are going to require?
Best Regards, _________________________________________________________ email: [email protected] From: "Rhodes, Richard L." <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Date: 07/30/15 10:03 Subject: [ADSM-L] help with designing a backup system for Teradata Sent by: "ADSM: Dist Stor Manager" <[email protected]> We purchased a Teredata database system. It currently is in test/dev stage with little data. We don't really know the ultimate backup requirements. To get things started we setup a simple backup system: Teradata -> to Bar server (Win) with TSM interface sftw -> to TSM server (AIX) -> to filepool on DataDomain (getting ~5x dedup) From the Bar server to TSM server is a standard 1GB ethernet. Now we need to scale up/out! The consultants are saying we will need to backup 30TB in a 6hr window, but maybe has high as 50TB in 6hr. That is (roughly): 30TB in 6hr = 1,400 MB/sec 50TB in 6hr = 2,300 MB/sec So we need to design a TSM backup system to support this. My thoughts: 1) Put a storage agent on the Bar server (Win server) and feed a VTL via 4x8gb san connections via a bunch of virtual tape. 2) Put the TSM server directly on the Bar server for just local tape and still feed a VTL as above. No library sharing. 3) I'd really like to not use tape (even virtual tape), but I can't think of any way to feed file devices with that throughput. I'd appreciate any thought/comments anyone might have!
