That performance is superb!!

To get that, did you go with the defaults, or was any significant tuning
done?

Were there any filer settings that needed to be changed?

Also, was there any network gotchas that you encountered?


Thanks so so much!

Re: [ADSM-L] NDMP over IP Performance






Ian,
   I am backing up a NetApp 3070 to a TSM 5.4.1.1 server on a P55a with
AIX 5.3 to a TS7520 VTL over ethernet.

There is a significant ethernet workload on the TSM server because I am
backing up 6 Netapp filers simultaneously.

Sar shows 100% cpu utilization on the TSM server during the processing
due to the high ethernet load.

I have one 50GB backup that takes 30 minutes (1.6GB/minute)

Make sure you are using TSM 5.4.1.1 or later because it addresses some
NDMP bugs in 5.4.1.0

You might check with your networking folks to ensure that all ethernet
settings are correct.

Hi

I am running a TSM 5.4 Server, trying to backup/restore a NetApp filer
over IP to a native LTO3 tape storage pool. The backups are NDMP images,
with the TOC. The TOC goes to a separate disk storage pool.

I am experiencing terrible performance. In the region of 2 MBs for
backup and 0.2MBs restore!!!

Have checked the basic settings tcpnodelay etc and disk performance
etc...

Can anyone think of anything, (sorry, its expansive!!!) Also any real
world experience when it comes to performance? expected throughputs etc
And how to get them!!!
