Hello, I have problem with lanfree backups (they are not completly lanfree in some cases). I submited it as PMR 12204 in Tivoli.
When I have multiple management classes in active policy set and size of first file to back up was smaller than TXNBYTELIMIT (default is 2000k), then this buffer was written trough LAN. Rest of files were written trough SAN (to the same storage pool). This in not a case when only one management class is defined. Problem is that in this behavior backup process needs one more mountpoint than I would expect... Could somebody please test/confirm/disprove described behavior? In following example I have lowered TXNBYTELIMIT to 300. You can see ANS1114I message twice: jupiter:/test# ls -l total 2496 -rw-r--r-- 1 root other 204800 Jan 4 12:11 a1 -rw-r--r-- 1 root other 204800 Jan 4 12:11 a2 -rw-r--r-- 1 root other 204800 Jan 4 12:11 a3 -rw-r--r-- 1 root other 204800 Jan 4 12:11 a4 -rw-r--r-- 1 root other 204800 Jan 4 12:11 a5 -rw-r--r-- 1 root other 204800 Jan 4 12:11 a6 jupiter:/test# dsmc sel pwd / Tivoli Storage Manager Command Line Backup Client Interface - Version 4, Release 2, Level 1.0 (C) Copyright IBM Corporation, 1990, 2001, All Rights Reserved.
