Re: Novell backup performance
Troy answered the question already. These changes are required to make the setting persistent. It can be changed from the CLI with the command 'SET TCP DELAYED ACKNOWLEDGEMENT = OFF ' but would be lost at the next restart of the server Kurt Van: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager namens Troy Frank Verzonden: vr 16/09/2005 17:19 Aan: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU Onderwerp: Re: [ADSM-L] Novell backup performance Open the server's remote management website (http://servername:8008), click the "Set Parameters" link, then the "Communications" link.

As always, review the TSM Performance Tuning Guide. TCPWindowsize is a classic network tuning knob which can have large benefits where right value is chosen - which may require experimentation. Richard Sims

Check as well that the parameter TCP_DELAYED_ACKNOWLEDGEMENT=OFF on the Novell server.

Re: Novell backup performance
Well, the old saying is, never say never... There are exceptions to what I said. Generally you only need to set resourceutilization to = volumes +1. However, what if you're backing up 2 volumes, sys: & vol1: , but have 5 tape drives available in your library? To do multi-session restores (using all 5 drives), you'd need to set the MOUNTLIMIT of the client to 5, and set RESOURCEUTILIZATION to at least 5. There are probably other exceptions also, that I just don't know about. In my case, setting resouceutilization to anything > 4 tended to make netware backups flaky. Since setting it to 4 was plenty good in my environment, I didn't worry too much about making it work with higher values.

Re: Novell backup performance
So, to follow up, should RESOURCEUTILIZATION never be set higher than the number of NetWare volumes being backed up? And in the case of a server with a single NetWare volume being backed up, is there a way to establish multiple backup sessions to improve backup times?

Re: Novell backup performance
The only thing in the dsm.opt that jumps out at me is the MEMORYEFFICIENTBACKUP. That will definitely slow down backups, and should only be used if the client being backed up really is memory-deficient. The other thing is, RESOURCEUTILIZATION tends to have dimishing returns. I've found that setting to anything more than 4or5 can have negative consequences (especially if the client is memory-deficient).
