Re: Sloooow Novell Backups

2002-05-17 Thread Sjerps, Marco

Stephen,
Did you check on the half / full duplex setting on the network card  ?
Full-duplex advised
If possible..
Did you also try to backup a large single file size ca 10mb's  or larger,
what is the performance then ?

Regards marco

I made the tcpip performance changes to the dsm.opt and I am still getting
slow transfer times.  I tested via ftp and was able to tranfer 40,000 files
in a few minutes.  So it appears that the TSM client is still not working.

here are the stats from my last selective backup:

Total number of objects inspected:  600

Total number of objects backed up:  600

Total number of objects updated:  0

Hi Stephen

I have some general experiences with the TSM client, and here goes:

 - Never use compress always!
 - The "INCLUDE SYS:*" wont work... you have to use "SYS:...\*" - I know
it's supposed to be the same... but it isn't!
 - Tune on the following parameters:
#TXNBYTELIMIT
#TXNGROUPMAX
#TCPBUFFSIZE
#TCPWINDOWSIZE
 - Set "MEMORYEFFICIENTBACKUP NO" in the DSM.OPT file (should be standard,
but...)

Backing up a volume with 500,000 files approx 1k each.  The files are being

Re: Sloooow Novell Backups

2002-05-17 Thread Jim Kirkman

How much of this data are you trying to send direct to tape? That's what it looks like 
your includes are trying to do, and that will obviously be slower that going to disk. 
Are you ftp'ing to disk but backing up to tape?

I think, to get all the objects (files and folders) in sys: and extravol1: to your 
tape mgmt class you need the following:

include sys:*.* tape9940
include sys:* tape9940
include sys:\...\* tape9940
include sys:\...\*.* tape9940

and the same construct for the extravol1

Try moving your TCPBUFFSIZE to 512 instead of 32.

Try adding the following for starters:

 TCPBUFFSIZE32
 TCPWINDOWSIZE  63
 TXNBYTELIMIT   25600

For the INCLUDE statements, I think you want the following:

INCLUDE sys:\...\* tape9940
INCLUDE extravol1:\...\* tape9940

TSM server 4.2.1.9 on Solaris 8

TSM 5.1 client on Novell 5.1

Backing up a volume with 500,000 files approx 1k each.  The files are =
being transfered to the tsm server approx 1/sec.  This is just a little =
too sloow.  When using ftp to transfer these same files, either by =
getting/putting the transfers fly.  This is leading me to believe that =
the issue is with the TSM server/client settings.

Does anybody have any ideas on any settings in the dsm.opt that could be =
changed to enhance performance?  Also I want to bind all objects in two =
of the volumes to a specific mgt class.  All that is being bound to it =
is the dirs.  Long day.  What am I doing wrong???

Here is the dsm.opt
