Now that I have ventured into new territory with this new server (Linux 6.2.1.1), I am experiencing terrible performance when it comes to moving data from disk (FILEDEVCLASS on EMC/SAN storage) vs my other 6.1 and 5.5 servers.
With the server doing nothing but migrating data from this SAN based stgpool to TS1130 tape, I am seeing roughly 700GB being moved in a 12-hour period. On my other, internal disk based TSM servers, I move multiple-terabytes per day/24-hours. So, where should I focus on why this is so slow? Is it because I am using SAN storage? How about the FILEDEVCLASS vs fixed, pre-formatted volumes (like every other server is using)? Or is this normal? If it is, I am in for some serious problems. One of these servers is expected to replace an existing 5.5 server that processes 20TB+ of backups, per week (no, I can not go straight to tape due to the type of backups being performed). Suggestions? Thoughts?
