[Veritas-bu] Netware client for Solaris master

Well let me take a stab at this.

1.  Create a target for each volume on the NetWare Box.

2.  Create a class with the following file list

        NEW_STREAM
        VOLUME1
        NEW_STREAM
        VOLUME2
        NEW_STREAM
        VOLUME3
        NEW_STREAM
        VOLUME4
        NEW_STREAM
        VOLUME5

3.  Make sure that the class artributes allow mulpile streams is checked.

4.  Set the schedule to and MPX maching the number of streams, upto about 6
so in tihs case 5

This should give you some performace boosts, I saw speeds of 17GB per hour
at a client site.

5.  Class NBU support and ask for some tuning parameters for NetWare, they
have them, and so do I but just not in my e-mail box right now.

Hope this helps,

Bob

I am trialling backups of a Netware box (Netfinity 5500, raid-5, with
100Mb/full duplex) running Netware 4.11 service pack 6A (whatever that
means), and am achieving only about 1.7MB/sec.  I know the Solaris
server/tape combination can manage 4X 8MB/sec by using multiple interfaces
and  DLT7000 drives.

I personally suspect the disk IO on the Netware box, but the PC type people
are suggesting the NLMs may be the cause of the performance problem.

We will potentially need to backup ~140GB nightly once the system is
implemented, and I was wondering if anyone could let me know their backup
rates, or horror stories.

Cheers,
Peter
