If you have a node set to have 1 mount point, and the library drives are all inuse, does the data goto the storage pool, or just keeps trying to mount a tape until it does?
Joe -----Original Message----- From: MUSTAFA BAYTAR [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, February 14, 2002 2:24 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Can you explain: Maxnump and keepmp Keep Mount Point Select whether the node should retain the tape mount point for the entire session. Yes Specifies that the node must retain the tape mount point during the entire session. No Specifies that the node will release the tape mount point if policy definitions cause data to be stored in a disk storage pool after storing data in a sequential storage pool. The default is No. Maximum Mount Points Allowed Enter a number from 0 to 999 to specify the maximum allowed resource usage by this node. A value of 0 specifies that tape drives cannot be acquired for storage operations. Data storage operations must be contained within a disk storage pool and server operations like migration will manage putting data on tape. A value of 0 does not prevent a retrieve operation from acquiring a tape drive. A node is always allowed to acquire at least 1 tape mount point for the purpose of data retrieval. Entering a value other than 0, limits the node to the specified number of tape drives and prevents the node from monopolizing all of the available tape drives. This parameter is optional Robert Ouzen <[EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] IFA.AC.IL> cc: (bcc: MUSTAFA BAYTAR/ATIM/ICECEK) Sent by: "ADSM: Subject: Can you explain: Maxnump and keepmp Dist Stor Manager" <[EMAIL PROTECTED] ST.EDU> 14.02.2002 08:45 Please respond to "ADSM: Dist Stor Manager" Hi Can anyone explain to me very slowly what the parameters: MAXNUMMP and KEEPMP means when I define a new NODE. The default is for MAXNUMMP 1 and for KEEPMP no I backup first to disk and during the day migrate to tape, just my database (Sap, Exchange ?) I backup directly to tape. Did those parameters can affect performance ?.. I made a little test trying to backup a same node (large client novell 5) once to disk and once to tape. I got a very big difference on performance , to tape took a very long time. Any suggestions will be appreciate. Regards Robert Ouzen [EMAIL PROTECTED]
