That's unlikely to be correct. How does the drive subdivide its buffer space (or does it?)? How does it use it--wait for it to fill, then compute and write, waiting for it to empty before accepting more data (both unlikely)? Would it wait to fill before looking to find out it contained 64KB of zeros? The point is that without knowing the drive firmware, we have no idea how the drive uses its space--and if there were a performance advantage to be had by matching buffer sizes, the vendor would certainly tell you about it. (BTW, the one modern drive firmware I have studied works nothing like a fixed buffer, but much more like a round-robin queue, optimized for continuous input of data and [de]compression at one "end" while writing out the other. Its size is relevant only for avoiding over/under-run; it's rate that matters.) Your objective is to never let the drive run dry on write, and never let it fill on read. Matching buffer sizes doesn't do either. Buffer tuning results for serverA in infrastructureA are often quite different from best results for serverB/infrastructureB with the same tape drives. If there's a better way to determine them than empirically, I'd like to know it. The only correct answer IMO is to open the Tuning Guide and do the work. After you do it the right way, you have the numbers to understand your infrastructure and predict the results of changes to it. ___ Veritas-bu maillist - Veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu http://mailman.eng.auburn.edu/mailman/listinfo/veritas-bu
[Veritas-bu] Testing NOM
After the recent questions on sizing for NOM, we've thrown up a Win2K3 Virtual Server (using MS Virtual Server). I installed NBU 6.0 client, Veritas Authentication (root + broker) and then NOM. Patched both the client and NOM to MP3. I launch NOM, log in and try to add my NBU Master server. Nada. Both server are on the same subnet and from the NOM virtual server, I can ping my NBU server as well as launch the java GUI and manage NBU. So, networking is out. I've tried adding by name (using the hosts file for resolution) and via IP. It always returns this: Server "IP Address" could not be located. Make sure the server is reachable on the network and NetBackup is running. It's reachable and NBU is running. Is there something I'm missing? I've looked through the manual and don't see anything.

[Veritas-bu] W2k3R1 DC Fast Boot BMR
I just want to verify a couple of things. We are in the process of BMR'ing two W2k3R1 servers using the BMR Fast Boot (NB 6.0MP3)CD/DVD in a test environment. I'm asking because the DNS Server service stops every once and a while on the BMR'ed DC's. The two DC's in question are also trying to connect to other DC's in the domain but can't because they are on a test network. Also, BMR'ed domain members can't connect to the DC's. They seem to loose their credentials but still think that they are part of the domain. Is there any added tasks needed to complete after the W2k3R1 DC's get rebuilt? Do we need to do any ntdsutil commands?___ Veritas-bu maillist - Veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu http://mailman.eng.auburn.edu/mailman/listinfo/veritas-bu
Re: [Veritas-bu] NOM Hardware Requirements
Couple of quick things that'll hopefully provide someone some ideas of what to expect. I've got it running on an older test box (v480) with Solaris 10. 4 900 MHz CPUs, 16 GB memory. I'm monitoring three NB 6 servers and the load on my NOM server usually looks like: load averages: 0.24, 0.22, 0.18 58 processes: 57 sleeping, 1 on cpu CPU states: 95.7% idle, 1.9% user, 2.4% kernel, 0.0% iowait, 0.0% swap Memory: 16G real, 13G free, 655M swap in use, 21G swap free (first few lines from a top) This is a server doing nothing else but running NOM. >From what I can tell, both the database back-end to NOM and its web interface will require some decent horsepower to keep users happy with the results.

Re: [Veritas-bu] 9940B
Hi Dave I was told use the same tuning settings as for the 9840, but depending on your media server you can increase the NUMBER_DATA_BUFFERS Just remember this uses a lot of shared memory, so you may have to tune you kernel also.

Hi Was wondering whether anyone knows the max I/O buffer size for the STK 9940B ? Trying to fine tune some media servers using the SIZE_DATA_BUFFERS and NUMBER_DATA_BUFFERS.

Re: [Veritas-bu] HP-UX Media Server to boot up....
Title: Message Guys This is slightly off topic of NBU, as it does not sound like this is the problem. But we do have a HP-UX with a SAN that takes AGES to boot. One suggestion our HP-UX engineer suggested was to check if there is trouble with an NFS mouth at boot time - it could be waiting for this to take place. also, check the rc.log and/or if applicable syslog files. this may give an indication where its getting stuck. But its not veritas to blame here (from what I can see) and I am no unix expert !
