[Veritas-bu] Using multiple drives with NDMP.
Jeff,
I've had some experience with the Celera NAS devices. There is a parameter you
need to set that must match the SIZE_DATA_BUFFERS_NDMP. I changed the
SIZE_DATA_BUFFERS_NDMP without configuring the Celera and all my NDMP backups
started failing. I'm sorry, but I don't remember the parameter on the Celera.
I had found it, was planning to make the change and got side tracked with
something else. That was a couple of months ago
javascript#058;emoticon(':?'). It was pretty easy to find in the Celera admin
guide. I'll see if I can dig up that config information for you.

Boris,
When I was doing some testing earlier I could see in the logs that the buffer
sizes were only changing when I modified the size_data_buffers_ndmp value. If
there is a way to set the size on the Celera I would guess that would work as
well. I haven't figured out how to set the MOVER_RECORD_SIZE on the NetApp.
I'm kind of hoping that the value being passed by Veritas using the
size_data_buffers_ndmp value is setting it.
Thanks,
Jeff

Re: [Veritas-bu] Using multiple drives with NDMP.
Hello Jeff, It works for me. I have two policies via two different media servers and they run at the same time, I tried and tested to run multistreamed backup policy and it was running fine as well. Double check your settings on the storage unit and make sure you have Allow multiple data streams checked on the backup policy with NDMP policy type. In my case, I am getting the same speed, 65 to 75 Mg/s for both jobs running at the same time, if I run the multiple stream policy, then I am getting just around 30 mg/s per stream. I have Celerra filers. Hope it helps. regards, Boris On Thu, Jun 11, 2009 at 10:34 PM, Jeff Cleverley jeff.clever...@avagotech.com wrote: Greetings, I've got just about all the bugs worked out of the new test environment except 1.

I can get my NDMP policies to back up more than one file system at a time. I've got a 6.5.3 environment running on linux. I've got a library (tld0) with 4 Gen 3 Ultrium drives. I've defined a media manager storage unit because I'm doing remote NDMP. I've set up 3 test policies, 1 standard and 2 NDMP. All policies work fine one at a time, or either NDMP policy will run at the same time as the standard policy. The storage unit is set to allow the use of 4 drives and also allow multiplexing (for the standard policy). The policies vary on the number of jobs per policy. One is set to 9 and the other is not set. One NDMP policy has 3 file systems to back up and the other has 1. When I run the policy with 3 file systems, it only runs one at a time to one tape. The other 2 just queue. I've tried putting in the new stream directive between them in the includes file but it didn't help. I can get them all to work one at a time but can't get them to backup more than one NDMP file system at a time. Is there some bp.conf directive I need to create? Any help pointing down the correct path would be appreciated.
