Hi Brenda, There are several commands we used to set this up:
DEFINE DBVOLUME /dev/rdsk/c2t0d0s4 FORMATSIZE=24000 WAIT=NO DEFINE LOGVOLUME /dev/rdsk/c1t0d1s4 FORMANTSIZE=10000 WAIT=NO They format in about a minute and we are getting an average of about 50-60 GB/hr transfer rate. On Exchange tests we ran an average of 80 GB/hr to back up and 39 GB/hr to restore the full database. Remember that using raw volumes is quick but it can EASILY get you into trouble. Make *very* sure you have this mapped out and know *exactly* which slices you are using and where. -Bern Ruelas Sr. Systems Engineer Cadence Design Systems - Storage -----Original Message----- From: Brenda Collins [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, May 09, 2002 8:34 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Solaris TSM Server Performance We are having trouble with a Solaris Server we just set up. The disk was set up as filesystems but the performance was so poor that it was recommended we stripe the disk and set it us as raw logical volumes. We are now having problems with defining the raw volumes to TSM. Does anyone have more detailed instructions than what is in the reference book? Also, could you tell me what types of performance you are seeing on your backups? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Brenda Collins, ING Americas Infrastructure Services
