Re: [ADSM-L] DB Mirroring - Poll and question





Why not use some old IBM scripts when comparing performance???

The scrips was orginally published under "How to determine when disk
tuning is needed for your ITSM server"
at http://www-1.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21141810. See
discussion at
http://www.mail-archive.com/adsm-l AT vm.marist DOT edu/msg51968.html



"On my first test expire run on my new test server (to which I reloaded
the 194GB production DB), the expire ran in 10-hours - 1/4 of the usual
time."
Reload = Unload + load DB, or only a restore DB?

(using small voice)  I guess it's not "lots."  124,858,663 files, 131 TB
occupancy, 90 GB database, ~100 clients.

WOW, the 342 Million files is what is killing you but it still seems
like an excessive amount of time. You mentioned Saturday as when it
starts.
You
are running expiration daily aren't you? You should be able to run
expiration and reclamation to completion each day or you need to look at
another instance or configuration to meet your resource needs. If you
don't complete expiration and reclamation daily, you will be queueing up
unfinished work each day that will turn into a 24-48 hour expiration
run(sounds like you are there). Expiration and reclamation go
hand-in-hand.
If your expiration doesn't complete then you reclamation can't either.
As a
result, you may have a good number of un-reclaimed and un-expired
entries in your database. BTW, I have always been told, by my TSM
mentors, that due to the database intensive nature of expiration, that
it should always run by itself.


Define LOTS?

My specs are:

194GB DB
206TB Occupancy
342,194,690 files

We need 4-6 hours for 90GB DB, ~100 clients.  The servers have LOTS of
files.

48 hours sounds like an awfully looong time to me.
On my busiest Linux server (90gb DB, ~100 clients) expiration completes
in 20-30 minutes.

On my big, 194GB production Linux server, an EXPIRE INVENTORY runs 40-48
hours.  Granted, the server is very busy performing other tasks such as
client backups, stgbackups and such.  The DB buffers and such are
configured identically to the production server.

On my first test expire run on my new test server (to which I reloaded
the 194GB production DB), the expire ran in 10-hours - 1/4 of the usual
time.
