Hi ALL
I was wondering
whether i could pick some of your brains.
Master/Media Solaris 8 - 5.1
MP6
I have recently
implemented a SUN/FalconSTor VTL into an Netbackup environment I look after,
previously in the physical world there where 18 X 9940B drives shared by the
Solaris master/media, a windows media server and a cluster windows media
server.
When i picked up
the environment there where numerous 196's understandably, by implementing the
VTL and considerably being able to present devices the problem now lies
with the master/media server not being able to cope.
At busy periods
now there are a number of backups that fall over with 25's (can't connect on
socket), now this master/media only has 1 gigabit Ethernet interface and all
backups it is responsible for are over ip. The windows media servers are
responsible for all our SAN backups.
My assumption
is that these 25 errors are due to either the gigabit card being swamped
(quite possible) or the tcp stack on the box being
overloaded.
Way
forward
The move to
6.0(MP4) and then 6.5.1 is imminent starting around then end of Q2, with this i
have the approval for a chunkier Solaris 10 Master/media.
The new server is
pretty much available immediately so my question is:
Is it worth my
while and are the implications of deploying this new server as a media
server and when we get round to upgrading to 6.0 MP4 and at a later stage
promoting this new server to become master??
Thanks in
advance
Dave
