How does one optimize a disk for ADSM ? What does one want to watch out for ?

The disks are not setup optimally. A DD to one 10K SSA disk to another can
run a 30 Meg per second. Stripe across five drives and this will be even
faster for a single system. The problem usually is the person that
optimizes the disks does not optimize them for ADSM.
If you turn on compression on the client, and you get 3 to 1 compression,
multiply the disk speed times 3 that you are getting writing to the server
now.
Aren't you really comparing uncompressed Disk writes to compressed tape
writes?

We have benchmarked this to death....EMC/IBM and Hitachi disk we can
get 8
to 10 MB/s, on both IBM 3590e's and STK 9840 we are getting
35 to 40 MB/sec....

Tape direct is a heck of a lot faster than disk....

Why would I send the data to tape first writing to disk is faster.

What I understood from your setup is as follows.
You are doing cold backup everyday using TSM disk pools. Your backup
time is
6 hrs for 500 Gig and you will be backing up 1TB in next few months.
Your
TSM server has only one SSA Adapter.
If you could do following changes in your setup, You should be able
to
reduce backup window time.
1. Schedule backup with multiple threads using Gigabit Fiber Channel
Interface.
2. Configure Copy group to send backup data directly to tapes( Don't
use
disk group)

The amount of data is the same everday 500GB full backup. I'm using
one SSA
card in the tsm system. I could get Gig cards if I have proof that
I'm
maxing out the current 100mb cards in the system and I don't seem to
be
doing that. The tsm server is plugged into the same switch has the
backup
server and on the same ip subnet. Also, the database files that I'm
backing
up are just oracle dump files. The tsm serve is also running aix
4.3.3.

We are backing up 2 servers of capacity 1.2 TB everyday. We have
shark
system and flash copy is implemented on shark. Without client
interference
we backup 1.2 Gig to TSM. It's running with 6 drives. No LAN/Free.
But it's
Client/Free backup. To restore we have placed Gbit Interfaces in
Client and
TSM Server.
You need to give more information of your server and database.
Are you doing incremental or full backup and which database you
have?
If incremental how much data is changed everyday?
Can you afford GBit interface between data server and TSM? ( IT
needs 2
adapter and 1 switch)
How many drives your library have? How many SSA adapters are
installed in
server?
Thank you,

Hi
If I am correct IBM offers LAN free backup which is faster .But need
to
purchase additional s/w.

Subject: 500GB Backup
I need to backup a 500GB database and my current setup is my tsm
server is
on the same ip subnet has the database server. Tsm is connected to
500GB of
SSA storage with 5 RAID5 sets with two 50GB tsm volumes on each raid
set.
My though put to the disk only seems to be 9000 kB/s. Which doesn't
seem
very high to me. My backup time is about 6 hours. Does anyone have
any
better senarios for backing up this amount of data in the smallest
amount of
time soon. I am going to be backing up a 1Tb per day and I need to
get me
backup times to the lowest. Does anyone have any suggestions on how
to do
that.
Thanks
