Hi All Is there any chance someone could clarify MPX for me. If you have MPX set to 4 for example and there are 4 streams hitting the drive. All 4 streams are writing in parallel as the tape spins. A

That is a good question, but I don't think so(?) I think the 3 streams a 15MB/s continue to truck along and the 10MB/s stream writes at 10MB/s but its more stretched out, example: 15MB/s stream: 10MB

All streams have a buffer associated with them (SIZE_DATA_BUFFERS and NUMBER_DATA_BUFFERS). The streams fill the buffers. When a buffer is full, it goes to tape. Watch your bptm logs and it will show

Makes sense Bobby So in this scenario you have 4 separate bptm write processors on the media server, each filling their buffer at different rates. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Thanks Kev Ready for what exactly ? Dave I would agree, that is what I have seen happen. If one stream lags behind it just skips putting it on the drive until it is ready. --Original Message-- From:

When the buffer is full, then buffer empties to the tape. It works the same no matter how many MPX streams you have (even 1 stream). The I/O to tape has a buffer. The data does not go directly to the

Thanks Bobby That seems to make sense now i.e. "The I/O to tape has a buffer. The data does not go directly to the tape" Saying this, then should be no gaps as presumed before as illustrated below ?
