I wish we had a white board and could sit in front of each other to finish the discussion, but it's obvious that it's not going to be resolved here. You believe I'm missing your point, and I believe you're missing my point. what matters is if you use a shorthand to track the values which can't

Re: [Veritas-bu] Some info on my experiences with 10GbE

2007-10-19 Thread Peters, Devon C
in my mind, using 2 Gb/s or 4 Gb/s shouldn't make a bit of difference for a drive that natively writes at 80 MB/s It shouldn't make a difference if you're sending uncompressible data to it. If you send highly compressible data to the drive, then there are 2 places on the drive (that I can

Since you've impugned my honor, I feel the need to defend myself a bit, but I don't want to spend much more time on this topic either: My first point was that you quoted a Wikipedia article as a source. The debate as to whether Wikipedia articles have any value is an ongoing one, and no point in

This would be a single master/media server in a SAN environment. I'm backing up 7TB to a NetApp VTL 700 and then vaulting backups to 4 LTO-3 tape drives. I want to be able to push the LTO drives to their full capacity, and then looking ahead at LTO-4. Neil

[Veritas-bu] UltraSPARC versus x64?

2007-10-19 Thread Conner, Neil
Does anyone have a sense of how UltraSPARC systems would compare with AMD x64 systems running Netbackup 6.5 on a single master/media server? For example, I'd be very interested in seeing how something like a 4-core T2000 would stand up against an X4200 with a 2 dual-core opterons. Neil

Jeff, The mix was deliberate. Please re-read my post it should become evident as to why. There was no implication that someone stated they had experienced data loss. In fact, nothing in my post is really speaking to dedupe or data loss. It's about the posts themselves... - Kent

Not an attack - just a question: Did someone in this thread say they HAD experienced data loss due to deduplication? If so I missed it. You mixed comments about another thread in here and I *think* you're saying something about someone's experience with 10GigE rather than deduplication. Your

Using Jumbo framing Using jumbo framing can improve performance but if not implemented correctly you can quickly go from poor performance to worse. You first need to make sure the NIC driver supports using jumbo framing. And when deploying you must make sure all devices on the layer 2 side of

Hi guys, Thanks for the replies; the issue was indeed to do with system library files or rather the lack of system library files. Checking what library files bpcd used showed a number were missing ldd /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/bpcd This had the following results: libkvm.so.2 = not found

Regarding the tape drives and compression -- this is the part that confuses me. I can max-out an LTO-3 drive at native write speed at 80MB/s with no problem using pre-compressed data (compressed Sybase dbdumps), even with a measly 64kb block size. This is using direct NDMP with 2 Gb/s fc IBM

2007-10-19 Thread bdoyle
Hey Steve, I can confidently say if drives are lost from the O/S where a cfgadm or a reboot is needed to see them again NBU has absolutely nothing to do with it. Do you lose /dev/rmt entries? Can you see the drives in the output of a scan command? You might want to verify the persistant
