Re: Increase VTAPE throughput to VTAPE server on PC.

[Hans Rempel]

Hi Tom. From my traces the Network and PC are responding very well. This
includes the OSA Express, VSWITCH and VSE TCP/IP stack connected to the
VSWITCH. It really appears to be on the FCOPY/VTAPE partitions. FCOPY is
lower than VTAPE partition which is lower than TCP/IP partition and I
believe I have ample mainframe cycles available.

What speed is your network card on your PC?  10 mbs?

The OSA cars is 1 gbs.

That seems to be where my VTAPE performance problem lies (also any
other large IP service that has my PC envolved).  I initially thought it
was the network traffic.  But I didn't get any greater thruput on a
weekend.

I'm trying to get better throughput on my VTAPE services going to a
PC. I performed a number of traces both on my laptop were the VTAPE
server is running and the VSE TCPIP stack. The delays appear not to be
on the PC or network side but getting the data from my application
(LIBR, FCOPY etc and VTAPE) to the TCPIP stack. For example I was
averaging about 10-20 msecs turnaround time between my send to receiving
an ack from the PC server while the mainframe application would take
40-50 msecs to present the data to the VSE TCP/IP stack. Using CA FAQS
ASO J display it appears the LIBR or FCOPY program is spending most of
its time in a task status of VDSBND. Google had one hit and the
reference to VDSBND is a POWER main task. Not sure why this appears
here. VM explore show my system is running at between 20 to 30 percent
at time of my backups so CPU cycles appear not to be the issue.

I'm using a VSWITCH to help reduce the mainframe overhead. My VSE is
3.1, TCPIP s 1.05D and VM is z/VM 4.4.

I used a TCPIP window of 64K on both VSE TCP/IP stack and on my Windows
XP laptop. The VSE TCP/IP trace indicated that after receiving about 32K
of data it would send it to the PC server. I've been told this size is
a VSE TCP/IP API socket limitation.

My FCOPY is getting about 12MB per minute over a period of about 1hr
20minutes. LIBR is about the same but those jobs only take about 5 to 6
minutes for 62 MB.

We would like to use VTAPE to do some offsite DRP backups and at this
point VTAPE is to slow.

No, we SET MITIME using AUTOLOG1.
