We are testing out a virtual tape library (Pathlight). We are backing up an oracle database from a Linux client using TDP for Oracle and RMAN. When we use compression at the client end, whether we go Lan or LanFree, we see the same performance. However, uncompressed is much faster on LanFree than Lan.
Does anyone know if there are tunables or any issues with using compression and LanFree backups? We are using TSM version 5.2.x.x on both server and client. Both are Linux. Thanks -- Terry
