Hi, you could run vmoprcmd and grep through it for the drive and its control - if it is not accessible there should be an errorcode returned. -Ursprüngliche Nachricht- Von: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Im Auftrag von Wilkinson, Alex Gesendet: Donnerstag, 2.

[Veritas-bu] Strange speed problem...not the norm
Has anyone seen this before? Netbackup 5.0 mp3 Solaris9 connected to L700 via fibre. I have a network client on a 100Mb network which is beyond slow backing up. Looking at the gui ( i know not accurate ) details for a job shows like 127kb/s. Doing an scp of a 128mb file from master server to the client is quick 20 secs. Doing an scp of the same file from client to master it gives ETA of over an hour, which comes down to like 20-30 minutes. Obviously wrong. So first thing on the solaris client i did was force the nic to 100 full autoneg off. Then doing an scp seems to be quick both ways. Great. Then launch a manual backup off for the client only and the speed is slow. 127kb/s again. going back and trying the scp is now slow again from client to master server.

Re: [Veritas-bu] Strange speed problem...not the norm
In my experience in your scenario almost always boils down to Auto-negotiate somewhere along the line. Try using bpbkar on the client writing the same data as to be backed up to a null device , this way you can determine without network, tape ,blah blah. That the bpbkar process is in actual fact reading the data quick enough, if this succeeds def network prob somewhere. Check the performance tuning guide for more detail.

Re: [Veritas-bu] Strange speed problem...not the norm
Check the status of the NIC before just setting it to FULL.Maybe it was FULL to begin with and you're just looking at a RedHerring. Check for CRC errors and link status on the client NIC, server NIC, andevery switch/router port in between. If some device is misconfigured, start a BIG ftp, and watch it..thenfix the network config, and then monitor that to see if it flips back. In most cases, a duplex problem will only show up if one of two ends ishard-coded.hard coding NIC speed and duplex is old school...GetEVERYTHINGevery single port in your environment set to auto-auto andyour problems will go away.We've slowly got everything here fixed...the only issue we have no isif someone ghosts a new system with an old image, or someone fixes alink on the fly, but there's an old rc script hanging around that hardcodes the connection again after a reboot. GigE does not do proper flow control if you hard code...most switchesand NICs will not allow you to set a Gig connection to auto-duplex,unless you exploit a bug, like some Cisco IOSs you can't set Gig-FULL,but if you set 100-FULL and then change speed to Gig, the FULL hangsaround...bugour network guys were exploiting that on purpose foryears...

Re: [Veritas-bu] Strange speed problem...not the norm
Does the traceroute from master - client and client - master show the same path. If yes then its really complex, if no then check whethther any segment in between has been a victim of broadcast or huge data transfer. There is Symantec tool provided by support, run and send the output to support, and it seems they would quickly tel u the reason.

[Veritas-bu] McData vs Brocade
Folks, I would like to hear your experiences or better yet comparison of McData Sphereon 4700 with Brocade Silkworm 4100 4Gb switches. CurrentIy our environment is 2 SUN media servers, STK L700, SL500 at one location, connected via 2 STK StoreNet 4100 ( re-branded 1Gb Brocade SilkWorm 2800 ) to 2 SUN media servers, STK L700 at the remote location, another 2 StoreNet 4100. L700 populated with SDLT220s and SDLT320s drives, which SAN'ed via Crossroads 4x50 SCSI to FC bridges. Netapp R200 NDMP from the remote location via DWDM to SL500 at this location. 2 StoreNet 4100 ( re-branded Brocade SilkWorm 2800 ) at each location ISL'ed and DWDM'ed to other location. We are doing in-line copy of each backup ( except NDMP form Netapp ). 1 stream to a local library, 1 stream to remote one. We vault local tapes and rotate tapes in remote L700. We were having really hard time with SDLT drives going down every day and SCSI-FC bridges being hung in this SSO configuration. Of course the backup window grew with time to 24x7 and initial 1 month on-site retention is shrinking as the ammount of data dumped doubles each year. At thi spoint we decided to replace SDLTs with LTO3, upgrade DWDM to 2Gb ( 2 of them ), upgrade to 4Gb HBAs on media servers and of course upgrade to faster 4Gb switches. We all set and decided on keeping the existing L700 and buying LTO3 HP drives. It is the switch selection, whcih drives us crazy. CISCO came out to be cost prohibitive for this simple mini SAN. Brocade seems to be all right at more than twice less money + Extended Fabric license ( to get enough buffer-to-buffer credits for DWDM ports ) But McData's 4700 is more than twice cheaper that Brocade and seems to be a real deal, plus no additional license for DWDM required.

Re: [Veritas-bu] McData vs Brocade
We are a mcdata shop today. We have never had any problems with there directors or there switches (we have the Sphereon 4700 as well). I am very please with mcdata... The problem for us today is that we really need to replace our directors and edge switches and with the upcoming merge of the two companies I cant say that mcdata is our given choice any more.. The thing is, the merge will probably to trough. Mcdata has always been better on the director side, meanwhile brocade have owned the switch sector (more or less). I am currently at the Storage Networking World conference in Orlando, and I have interigated both brocade and mcdata about the merge. They cant really give any details today. But.. The market has acted already. For instance, HP blade systems only comes with brocade switches... But again, although brocade perhaps would be the long term choice they will support mcdata products for many years to come.. I would suggest you to go with the one that feels most comfortably to you and maps well to your other infrastructure. I think both the switches lives up to your demands. Good luck!
