The PCI bus on a P5 will saturate at 400 MB/Sec; you'll need to go to the P6 to exceed that. That, and the $8,000 per end cost are the reasons I have 4 independent gigabit backup networks. (At the lat time I looked, the IBM card was $8,000 and a populated 8-port board for our Cisco switch was $64,

On the SP's you could use the switch to get fast backups. On a large P5 with VLAN and TSM on the same box you can also. You can also use p5 VLANS and a dedicated large packet NIC going to a similarly configured NIC on a TSM server. But with more people doing Lan-free.. - Original Mes

The reason I posted this is that up to now, I've never seen anyone go any faster than about 400 MB/s (3200 Mb/s). If you're able to test that you can go indeed go anywhere near the speed that this guy had, using your P5s of course, I'd love to post your results, too. I'm just trying to help get t

I monitor several backup-related mailing lists, and a user on another list is getting 7500 Mb/s on his 10 GbE card and was willing to share how he did it. It's a NetBackup user, but that's not what the post is about. It's about how he got 7500 MB/s into a single backup server, and how he did

Richard, Thanks. I am monitoring TSM operations from a Perl script someone made a long time ago (before I got here). What the script does is basically dump the activity log to a file and then 'does stuff with it'. The stuff it does, it is not doing very well. For some reason and for TDP sessions o

Rick - I think you're perceiving the FAILED column of the Activity Summary table to be a kind of boolean, or condition code. It is actually the number of objects which the (B/A) client reported to have failed in its attempt to back them up, as can occur when a transient file in a file system dis
