What Resourceutilization number are you using? -----Original Message----- From: Magura, Curtis [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, January 30, 2002 5:10 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Background / Foreground Performance Mystery
Tried Wanda's idea last night. Backup completed in what we expect the normal time to be. This is using my logon (admin auth on the local NT resource domain) and opening a window with the command dsmc sched. Not sure what this tells us though.... I'm thinking this is still in the foreground vs. an NT service? Starting to get way over my NT skills at this point! I've asked some of the local Intel support folks about dispatching priorities and if/where they can be set. Are any of the NT savvy folks on the list aware of anyplace that can be set on NT4?

What happens if you run the scheduler under your own account? -----Original Message----- From: Magura, Curtis [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, January 29, 2002 11:06 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Background / Foreground Performance Mystery Client: O/S - NT4 SP6A TSM 4.2.1.20 Server: AIX 4.3.3 ML6 TSM 4.2.1.7 We have one NT client the has degraded terribly over the past couple of months. We are in the midst of upgrading clients to .20 and the hope was it would help. No luck. Here's the weird part. If I logon to the machine and run dsmc incr the backup performance is about what we expect. Last night we backed up 155.56 GB in 09:05:16. This is an Intel file server with a tad over 4.8 million files on it. If the TSM Scheduler Service starts the backup it takes more than 24 hours to complete! And even more weird it used to run using the scheduler just fine..... Standard caveats....nobody has changed anything or so they all say!!! Except of course the upgrade to the newer client that I mentioned. I also deleted and recreated the TSM Scheduler Service.... No difference. The machine is set give performance preference to background tasks per right clicking on properties of My Computer. I'm at a loss as to why the scheduler performance in unacceptable. Earlier today I setup an "AT" job to start up the dsmc incr command to see how it would run. Appears to be running at the same pace as if it was started via the Scheduler service. I'll take any help on this one! Curt Magura Lockheed Martin EIS Gaithersburg, Md. 301-240-6305
