Boris,

Just to clarify. When you set the data buffers settings for the filer, were you changing the SIZE_DATA_BUFFERS_NDMP or was it something else? I was unclear whether the ndmp buffer size was actually passing that size for the dump command to use for a block size.
Thanks,

Jeff

Jeff, good point. You need to tune the data buffer size as well. I changed the data buffer settings on the filer and the backup media servers to 256k, runs really fast in my case. I noted the Solaris media server runs backups faster then the Windows media servers.

The clients max job was set to 1. I changed it to 10 for now. The policy with 3 file systems in the includes grabbed 3 drives
    and started writing.  Performance now needs to start getting tuned
    to see what we can get but at least I can use all the drives.

    Thanks,

    What do you have set for "maximum jobs per client" under the
    global attributes of the properties tab of the master server?

    by the CLI...

    Check it
    /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd/bpconfig -L

    Set it
    /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd/bpconfig -mj 4

    NDMP will multi-stream, but not multiplex.

    Greetings,

    I've got just about all the bugs worked out of the new test
    environment except 1.  I can get my NDMP policies to back up
    more than one file system at a time.

    I've got a 6.5.3 environment running on linux.  I've got a
    library (tld0) with 4 Gen 3 Ultrium drives.  I've defined a
    media manager storage unit because I'm doing remote NDMP.  I've
    set up 3 test policies, 1 standard and 2 NDMP.  All policies
    work fine one at a time, or either NDMP policy will run at the
    same time as the standard policy.  The storage unit is set to
    allow the use of 4 drives and also allow multiplexing (for the
    standard policy).  The policies vary on the number of jobs per
    policy.  One is set to 9 and the other is not set.  One NDMP
    policy has 3 file systems to back up and the other has 1.

    When I run the policy with 3 file systems, it only runs one at a
    time to one tape.  The other 2 just queue.  I've tried putting
    in the new stream directive between them in the includes file
    but it didn't help.  I can get them all to work one at a time
    but can't get them to backup more than one NDMP file system at a
    time.  Is there some bp.conf directive I need to create?
    Any help pointing down the correct path would be appreciated.

    Thanks,

    Jeff
