We used to have your same problems for a while. The setup is:
- dedicated backup machine with DLT
- Retrospect remotes on the servers (6 of them, a mix of ASIP 6.2 and AS
4.2.1)
what used to happen:
2 servers frozen in the morning, 4 times out of 5, after the night backup.
1 is ASIP 6.2
1 is AS 4.2.1
the other 4 servers were ok.
What is the difference btw these 2 and the other 4 ? It's the big amount
of files on these 2.
what we have done:
we went from 10baseT hubs to 10/100 switches.
we installed Asante FastPCI 10/100 cards in all our servers.
we turned off the autonegociation on the switch ports where servers
connect - although this is not so relevant - and set it to 100 half
duplex.
the result:
the servers back up in 1/3 of the time.
they don't freeze any more.
BUT
people complain 2 days out of 5 that on their workstations there are
server folders appearing as empty.
solution:
each morning I go into the server room and manually reset the AS cache on
these 2 servers.
As soon as I do it people see the folders contents again.
this is year 2000 technology. It's a wonderful world.
