Question about dumporder

2007-11-16 Thread Marc Muehlfeld
Hello, I have a question about the dumporder parameter. To what are the two bandwidth options (B and b) related? Client/Server connection (e. g. 1Gbit)? Or the real bandwith between server and client? I have a client that is connected by a 1Gbit LAN-card to it's subnet in our branch office.

You must defined a split_diskbuffer if the dump go directly to tape without using a holding disk. In this case, there is no advantage to use a tape_splitsize bigger than your memory size. Also, on a 32 bit system, it is limited to below 2Gb. Jean-Louis Charles Curley wrote: I added
