Re: [Veritas-bu] Only getting 125GB on LTO2 Tape
Just an update, seems to be a drive issue. I was able to write 160GB image to another tape drive using the same tape. I updated the drive firmware, power cycled the server and all the tape drives on the SCSI channel. I'll be placing a service call on the drive today. This is still kinda goofy.___ Veritas-bu maillist - Veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu http://mailman.eng.auburn.edu/mailman/listinfo/veritas-bu

Yes, seeing as your running LTO2 tapes and getting less than expected! 200GB I believe you should get :-) Or something close to that!

Windows fileshare data. Word, excel, Visio, text and image file formats. I'm currently writing to a different tape using the same drive. Maybe the fujifilm tape is the problem.

Re: [Veritas-bu] Only getting 125GB on LTO2 Tape
I tell my management that anything more than the tape's native capacity is gravy. You are not even getting that. So far my LTO3 compression has been closer to 50% than the 100% the drives are advertised at. Backing up mostly Oracle/RMAN Databases thus far and I'm getting just better than 600GB a tape. Your 125GB looks closer to LTO1 than LTO2. Perhaps a driver issue? Can you put a tape manually in the drive and run test backups to it sans-Netbackup? How about putting a tape in and running some sort of drive management suite from the manufacturer to see what it says? You should AT LEAST get 200GB on an LTO2 tape. That's 1:1 native capacity! -J From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, January 08, 2007 10:01 AM To: veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu Subject: [Veritas-bu] Only getting 125GB on LTO2 Tape I'm having a case of the Mondays.

Re: [Veritas-bu] Only getting 125GB on LTO2 Tape
Just curious. Is the tape that's not full actually MARKED as full? Or is it just that NBU is choosing a second tape for other reasons (database backup, different retention, etc)? --- W.

My concern is that LTO2 should be at least 200GB and 400GB Compressed. so if you are getting nothing like that, its either the tape, drive, drive configuration issue perhaps.

Re: [Veritas-bu] Only getting 125GB on LTO2 Tape
I applied the latest kernel patches on friday. went from -22 to -24. http://sunsolve.sun.com/search/document.do?assetkey=1-21-118833-24-1 When i upgraded to MP4, i also did not delete the sg driver and re-install. It said something to the effect The sg driver was not update, if you wish you can delete it and re-add it using the following commands It's interesting that there is a firmware upgrade for the SUN L8 http://sunsolve.sun.com/search/advsearch.do?collection=PATCHtype=collectionsmax=50language=enqueryKey5=116622toDocument=yes we have two L8 autoloaders. I grabbed a new tape(Purple Ultirum 2) dropped it in the same drive(HP) and backed the system up. I still got 125GB on one tape. So I now expired the tape and are using the 2nd tape drive(HP) to rule out a drive problem. What is weird is each drive backed up 400+GB of data on a single tape over the weekend. So two 400+GB tapes got written to. I just need to verify that tape abc got written by tld0 and tape xyz got written to by tld1. ___ Veritas-bu maillist - Veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu http://mailman.eng.auburn.edu/mailman/listinfo/veritas-bu
