Hi All Thanks to all those that responded to my "time travel" query, testing is in progress on that one.
One of my customers has an issue with a burgeoning VCB infrastructure. There are two VCB proxies and a lot of VMs being backed up, TSM Server 5.5.3 and client 6.1.2. Most of this is a daily incremental and a monthly full, but there are a couple of big file-servers with lots of small files that get a daily full. VCB backups are single threaded, and we are having trouble getting through them all within the window. TSM doesn't seem to be the problem, we have increased resourceutilization on the proxy without much effect. The bottleneck seems to be the VMWare snapshot/mount/dismount parts of the process, and there is not a lot of visibility of those. 1. Is there any good doc on this process and how to improve its performance? 2. Can the proxy side be effectively parallelized, and if so how? Thanks Steve TSM Admin, Paraparaumu, New Zealand
