Tape mounts: Please look ahead!
1995-10-05 16:41:33
Hello IBMer,
I remember that someone posted the idea of looking ahead tape mounts
at restore processing to that list. Is it possible to implement this
concept? Is it already accepted as an requirement?
I did a restore of 1.6 GB (65,000 files) of a filespace which is in
production for about one year. It took 60 tape mounts
(collocation=yes) to accomplish the job. Assuming an average automatic
mount needs one minute it is easy to estimate one bottleneck of the
whole story.
As filespaces are increasing - we have to handle up to 10 GB as one
space now - as tapes becoming more and more fragmented the mounts are
more and more an impact of performance.
An additional approach could be the collocation of the set of active
files in certain intervals.
ADSM developers, what do you think about it? What are you planning to
do?
Thank you and have a fine day.
