FW: multiple reclaim processes
2002-09-05 21:30:57
Wayne,
Starting at server 4.2 (or maybe 4.1.something), there is a RECONSTRUCT
parm you can add to MOVE DATA to get the aggregates rebuilt along the
way! (RECONSTRUCT=NO is still the default).
I haven't done any timings on it, though, to see if it's slower.

Two quick (and probably obvious) points:
- You can do multiple simultaneous reclamations if you have multiple
storage pools. Long on tape drives? Create another domain (& storage
pool(s)) and split your nodes between them.
- MOVE DATA (tape to tape, or tape back to disk) allows multiple
simultaneous processes on one storage pool and each is often faster than
the corresponding reclamation. The down-side to MOVE DATA is that
aggregates are not reconstructed, so your newly filled tape will
immediately have reclaimable space. Perhaps a statistician could tell
us the expected wasted space remaining after a MOVE DATA. Maybe with
too many caveats to be useful, ... but when I switched from exclusively
performing MOVE DATAs to exclusively performing reclamation, I "gained"
almost 20% empty volumes.
cheers, wayne
