multiple image backups

2002-12-12 Thread J D Gable
Hello all, Does anyone know the best way (if any) to run multiple image backups from one client at once? We have 8 drives available to us, but we can only seem to get one image (raw device) backup to kick off at a time. Meanwhile there are 7 drives sitting idle. Any assistance would be greatly

Do you have disk caching enabled? If so, disable it, move the data off of your disk volumes, and try it again. I have an open PMR about this very issue. We are running TSM 5.1.1.6 on an AIX 4.3.3 server. Josh murali ramaswamy wrote: Hi, I get the following error message ANS1311E Server

Check your tcp_mssdflt settting. It sets the default packet size for non-local networks. It sounds like that's the situation you're in. The clients are sending packets in 1460, but you're sending them back out at 536. That's 3 times as many packets and acks for the same amount of data. We

Hello fellow TSMers, We have a client node with 20 raw devices, and can only seem to get the image backup to run one at a time. Any suggestions on how we might back up 4-5 of these at once? We have tried a macro, but it still only runs one line at a time. Any suggestions would be greatly

Encryption

2002-10-21 Thread J D Gable
Does anybody have any evidence/research as to what kind of additional overhead encryption puts on a client when processing a backup (CPU, Memory, etc.)? I am running some tests myself, but the numbers are staggering (we're seeing up to a 300% increase in the backup time in some cases). I

I don't use server scripts because the output of a server script cannot be redirected to a file. However, you can run a macro from cron (or command line) and redirect the output to wherever you wish. JD Gerald Wichmann wrote: Why would one use macros instead of a server script? Gerald
