What else do you have on the SAN Data Gateway? Does the client connect to a switch that the SAN Data Gateway does or what? There has been a lot of discussion on this subject over the past weeks. It has always been the configuration of the SAN Data Gateway.

I'm sitting here looking at my customers environment and wonder how TDP for Exchange is sooooo slow via SAN. We have a complete Win2000 environment with all the newest patches installed (Server 4.2.1.12, StorageAgent 4.2.1.12, API 4.2.1.30, TDP Exch. 2.2) We share two drives of a 3584 library via SAN data gateway (newest firmware). The backup via LAN (!) is nearly as fast as it could be (up to 12 MB/s without compression). But the backup via SAN ist very slow. It starts slow (at 1200 KB/s) and slows down to 800 KB/s. Does anyone have recommendations tuning the dsm.opt-file or tdpexc.cfg-file... my dsm.opt-file: tcpwindowsize 63 tcpbuffsize 32 txnb 25600 my tdpexc.cfg-file: buffers 4 buffersize 2048 ... or any other ideas? (Are there any rules-of-thumb how to tune this options?) Thanx in advance, Karsten Huettmann, c.a.r.u.s.
