Yep, in the RMAN scirpt on the client you will have a section starting
with something like:
ALLOCATE CHANNEL c1 TYPE 'SBT_TAPE'
After this you need to add this line with a block size you want, for
example 262144
PARMS='BLKSIZE=262144';

Ok,
then there are a few things to point out, firstly with a single client
typically you will struggle to get anywhere near saturating a gigabit
connection just to set your expectations, but you should still get better
than you are seeing. Secondly you are using a database agent and these
often adversely affect performance.
However Im sure you can improve things, heres a few suggestions to start
with.
Firstly I'd recommend you configure your multiplexing to use only one
drive at least to begin with, if you think you really pushing enough data
off the client to drive two then you can set that later.
You also really need to set the buffers on the media (this is your master
I think?) server, this is done by setting a value in the files (which do
not exist by default) in /usr/openv/netbackup/db/config
NUMBER_DATA_BUFFERS and SIZE_DATA_BUFFERS. For LTO3 a good starting point
for these might be number=64 and size=262144.
You may also need to make changes to your /etc/system file as these
settings require sufficient system shared memory to be available, you can
find recommended settings on support.veritas.com or I can tell you what I have
used??
Also you can change the buffer size on the RMAN side too, again I can help
you out if you don't know how to do this,
cheers Andy.

Subject: Re: [Veritas-bu] backup speed
I am getting 100Mbits per sec.
I have only one client connect to the gigabit switch. and to backup 1.7TB
of data it takes about 9 hours. either i use 3 drives or 4.
My mrtg graphs shows that I could not use more than 100Mbits per sec.
I am using rman netbackup so the option of "Allow multiple data stream is
not highlighted but i am using 4 channels to backup data.
I have no idea where i can see NBU buffer size.

Hi Atif,
Do you mean 100Mbytes or 100Mbits a second? Maximum theoretical through
put of 1000baseT is 1000/8=125MBytes a second so 100MBytes would be very
good, in contrast if you are getting only 100Mbits then that is failry
poor - in this instance please post some additional information about your
config as this is a very complex issue. Ie are the clients also connected
on gigabit ethernet, how many clients are there, what are your
multiplexing settings, what are your NBU buffer settings, etc, etc, etc
cheers Andy.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] backup speed
I have a gigabit ethernet. Recently i have installed 5 LTO Gen 3
drives. But I am not getting a very good speed. As a total I am
getting 100Mb/sec, and it take a lot of time to finish my backup.
Why I could not get a good speed.
