In regard to: [Networker] mminfo slow to respond, Rudy Munguia said (at...:

I am running a very simple mminfo query 'mminfo -avc xyz -r"volume"' in
order to find all tapes that contain savesets for the particular client.
The first query took about 20hours, the second took about 30, the third
query has been running for 4 days now.

I would try rewriting the query to see if you can speed it up.  For
example, is

        mminfo -q 'client=xyz' -r volume

any faster?

This is running on 7.4.4 on Solaris 9 on a Sun V440 with 4 Processors
and 8GB of RAM. It handles only about 300 clients. We have a total
library of only 14,000 tapes.

You say only 14,000 tapes, but I would say that's quite a lot for a server
as old as yours.
