Re: support for SnapDiff on NetApp filers running CDOT?

2015-03-11 Thread Del Hoobler
Hi Steve, That status is not quite correct. IBM has the APIs, that's true. IBM also has them implemented and working successfully in the lab. IBM is working directly with NetApp on some special details about how we support SnapDiff (and NDMP) with CDOT. And so, at this point, I cannot give a

Hi Steve, No firm diagnosis or solution, but this could be something going on during snapshot cleanup, when the volumes are being unmounted if you are using the HOTADD transport. One possibility (but by no means the only one) is: kb.vmware.com/kb/2010953 One way to try to isolate this is to

NetApp snapdiff support for filers configured to run in c-mode was added in ONTAP 8.2, so any future TSM client support would require this version of ONTAP. As you probably know, ONTAP 8.2 is the last version of ONTAP which will include legacy 7-mode support, future versions starting with 8.3

I've been in meetings/training this week about AIX LPM and other stuff related with LPARS. We got talking about our TSM servers, and the IBM leader mentioned a presentation given a while ago at a IBM conference about using LARGE PAGES (16MB) with TSM to prevent lock contention. This is

We've been using them on RHEL x86_64 via Linux's anonhugepages mechanism for a while now. I'm not sure that they improve performance but they certainly haven't hurt anything that I can tell. On Wed, Mar 11, 2015 at 11:15:30AM +, Rhodes, Richard L. wrote: I've been in meetings/training this

We have implemented large pages on our v6 servers (now v7 servers). I agree it seems to work as suggested by the presentation. It requires some tuning to begin with to get the ideal number. It does mean that the memory reserved for large pages is not available for other processes so like so
