NFS as a storage pool volume

2009-12-29 Thread Gary Bowers
I have a strange performance issue that I am trying to work out involving network attached storage being used for TSM stgpool volumes. The TSM server is AIX 5.3, and the network is a dedicated Gbit. We started out using iSCSI for the storage pool volumes creating 10 X 250GB volumes and placing

You don't say what kind of beast this network attached storage hardware actually is - are we talking Netapp, EMC, other? You need to run the performance tools that are available with it and look at how busy its NIC card is and what kind of performance you are getting from its cache. I have seen

Grigori, Don't you mean RMAN recovery window? Redundancy means how many backup versions RMAN will keep, recovery window means for how many days back. And I don't think RETAIN EXTRA does much for you, since each version is unique from RMAN (i.e, they're all named differently). AFAIK, the only

Based upon more than 15 years of experience with NFS: It's fine for relatively casual employments such as user home directories, where you can tolerate moderate throughput and propagation delay. It is not suitable for applications demanding great responsiveness and throughput and serious

Steve is correct. (this is valid for TSM 5.x anyway) For Oracle RMAN Backups using the Data Protection Agent TSM is basically just a data repository. Since every file that comes to TSM is unique, and TSM doesn't and can't scan the drive as it would a file system, it can't tell if the file has

Re: NFS as a storage pool volume SOLVED!!!!

Ok, so when searching for solutions, I ran across a similar problem on GPFS. Turns out that DIRECTIO in TSM causes severe degradation for GPFS and NFS and iSCSI volumes. I added the undocumented DIRECTIO no parameter to dsmserv.opt, and audit is running at 60+ MB/s as expected. Hope this helps

MSSQL archives

We rolled out several SQL TDP agents this year and I'm only realizing now there doesn't seem to be a facility for long-term archiving. I noticed that Differential and Full backups can be bound to separate management classes (Unlike NDMP backups) I *assumed* that Full backups could have different

We implemented the Normal, Monthly, and Quarterly node model for regulatory retention. Each node that requires it has three nodes, with 90 day, 5 year, and 10 year retention, with the frequency of backups matching the names. It was the best way overall, for us, to get it done. I would love

We are using two different nodes for Windows servers with MS SQL databases - one for normal TSM backups and additional for MS SQL backups via TDP for SQL (for example, SERVER and SERVER_SQL). TDP for SQL is not for archiving data for sure. Node SERVER_SQL keeps only online backups for MS SQL
