Pretty nice scripts.
It was noted that output should be > 5 mil for 1st script and >3.8 mil
for 2nd script.
Should this be a concern if 1st script shows up > 5 mil, but the 2nd
script is < 3.8 mil for the TSM server?
Could this be used as bench mark to say, the faster and better CPU and/or
TSM server is needed? I know this question is very general since there are
many many factors to be consider.... I guess can or should one include this
in the sizing of the current environment?
Thanks,

I have scripts to test performance. I don't remember how did I get them
(maybe from this group)
Database backup performance (result from the script should be >5,000,000)
select activity, cast ((end_time) as date) as "Date", (examined/cast
((end_time-start_time) seconds as decimal (18,13)) *3600) "Pages backed
Up/Hr" from summary where activity='FULL_DBBACKUP' and days (end_time)
-days (start_time)=0
Expiration performance (result from the script should be >3,800,000)
select activity, cast ((end_time) as date) as "Date", (examined/cast
((end_time-start_time) seconds as decimal (18,13)) *3600) "Objects Examined
Up/Hr" from summary where activity='EXPIRATION' and days (end_time) -days
(start_time)=0

Subject: Expiration performance
Hi all,
I have a question for people that are administering simillar TSM system
like
me.
TSM server on Sunfire 6800, 4x UltraSparcIII 1.2GHz, Solaris 5.9, Veritas
VM
3.5 MP3. Database and diskpools at HP512 disk array with 2x 2Gbit FC HBA
connect.
About 500 TSM nodes including fileservers, Oracle DB, MS Exchange, MS SQL.
About 800-1000GB daily data througput. TSM DB has 54GB allocated space and
about 80% utilization.
Now what is going about: there is about 4 milions examined and about 1
milion deleted objects (average values) during expiration process, which
takes about 3-4 hours every day. This means about 15000obj/min effective
speed, but I know, this value is greatly dependent on deleted object and
less on examined object. Here is last 20 days in table:

We are monitoring whole system day by day (CPU, disk groups I/O, memory,
network ...blablabla) and there is seen from these data, that CPU is
largely
loaded during backups (70-90%), but not during expiration (5-10%). Database
disks have average activity about 0,5MByte/s read and 0,5Mbyte write during
both backups and expiration, and about 12Mbyte/s read during TSM database
backup. But there is about 25% processing time waiting for I/O during both
backups and expiration. There is SELFTUNEBUFPOOLSIZE activated, bufferpool
is 131072 KB and last 2 months no increase was registered.
I have some other experiences on smaller TSM systems with different
configurations, on different hardware and platforms, but all these systems
are much more loaded during expiraton process than during backups. I want
to
ask, if somebody has system with similar sizing in production and if these
values (I mean low load affect of expiration process) seems OK, or what si
your expiriences with expirations. Am I supposed to find some bottlenecks
in
filesystem/OS/TSM settings? Or is this fenomen caused by size of TSM
environment and is it normal?
Thanks for any suggestions
