Question about compression

2001-08-28 Thread Jeff Keen 

We have 2 3580 drives with the 3583 changer. The devclass for these drives shows them 
being of format=ultriumc, which I assume means compressed. I have compression turned 
on at the clients. Are my drives also compressing, or is there more to setting up 
drive compression than formatting with the ultriumc option? When my tapes are first 
checked in they show estimated capacity of about 200GB, once they are used and "full" 
they show an estimated capacity of about 100GB.

Also, is there a "best" way to compress, or does it differ depending on disk space, 
processor, backup window, etc.

Thanks in advance,

Jeff

Strange behavior on Novell restore

2001-04-02 Thread Jeff Keen 

ADSM Novell client 3.1.08
ADSM Aix Server 3.1.2.40

While trying to attempt a restore of a Netware 4.11 box, I came across an error that 
is not letting me restore one file. When I run the restore one time it says 1 file 
restore but the file size is 0. Try the restore again and it fails with the following 
error: "ANS4014E Error processing 'file name': unknow system error (150) encountered. 
Program ending". The only thing strange about the file name is it starts with an 
underscore, but there are 2 other files named similarily and they restored fine. Any 
help is appreciated. 

Thanks,
Jeff

AIX Filesize issue and owner/group issue

2001-02-21 Thread Jeff Keen 

I am trying to do a retrieve from one server from another using virtualnode. I am 
having 2 problems. One is that I have a 1.5 GB file that is giving me an error stating 
that "user or system file size limit exceeded", or something real close to that. I 
found a setting on the AIX server for fsize and set it accordingly. It did not help. 
Am I missing something else? The second problem is that the files that did come over 
lost their original Owner and Group settings. They were set to Oracle and DBA and now 
they are set to 300 and 300. Anyone seen this before? Any help is very appreciated.

Thanks,
Jeff
