Set your timeout longer, say 120 minutes and see if that solves the problem, and anyway even if your non active session times out it should reconnect, if within the backup window. This should not prevent the active session from carrying on and completing the backup normally. You just do not get the backup statistics sent back to the server.
"Frost, Dave" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> on 10/17/2002 10:02:52 AM Please respond to "ADSM: Dist Stor Manager" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] cc: (bcc: John Naylor/HAV/SSE) Subject: resourceutilization questions Hi, Does anybody else have problems with backups which have the resourceutilization option set to greater than one ? When the option first became available, we experimented with different values. However, we found that the controlling thread would frequently go into IDLEWAIT for long periods of time. If the IDLEWAIT state exceeds the server IDLEWAIT timeout, then the session is terminated. We have seen this result in a backup showing as 'completed' with all associated stats, but not actually completing. If the filespaces are viewed, the backup shows as not completed. We circumvented this problem by always setting the resourceutilization to one. Now, with the release of the version 5 server & client, there is the functionality for a multi-threaded restore. This requires MAXNUMMP and RESOURCEUTILIZATION to be set to greater than one, to allow a restore to use more than one tape and thus reap the performance benefits. However, even with a version 5.1.1.4 server and version 5.1.1 client, we still see the controlling thread timeout of a multi-thread backup. Our IDLEWAIT parameter is set to 45 mins. The resourceutlization parameter is now of some considerable use when doing restores, but does not seem to function correctly when backing up. Has anybody else seen this and if so, have you found a fix.
