FYI, I just checked my last full DB backup. Available Space (MB): 30,472 Assigned Capacity (MB): 28,128 Maximum Extension (MB): 2,344 Maximum Reduction (MB): 6,240 Page Size (bytes): 4,096 Total Usable Pages: 7,200,768 Used Pages: 4,846,635 Pct Util: 67.3 Max. Pct Util: 69.5 Physical Volumes: 13
If I do the backup to a fast 3590 drive/tape, it takes a little more than 1-hour and 1-tape. However, going to a 3490, it takes more that 3-hours and 13+ tapes. This is to a 3494 ATL. No VTS. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Zoltan Forray Virginia Commonwealth University - University Computing Center e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] - voice: 804-828-4807 Schaub Joachim Paul ABX-PROD-ZH <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent by: "ADSM: Dist Stor Manager" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 04/12/2002 04:48 AM Please respond to "ADSM: Dist Stor Manager" To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] cc: Subject: TSM DB Fullbackup 19GB takes 4 hours on OS/390 VTS Dear *SM Gurus The TSM DB Fullbackup (19GB) takes about 4 hours on OS/390 with VTS. I haven't found any descriptions for parallelisation, eg. maxpr or mountp. Is it in the tec. nature, the DB will be backed up in sequenz? tia Joachim ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Joachim Paul Schaub Abraxas Informatik AG Beckenhofstrasse 23 CH-8090 Zürich Schweiz / Switzerland Telefon: +41 (01) 259 34 41 Telefax: +41 (01) 259 42 82 E-Mail: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Internet: http://www.abraxas.ch ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
