Hi Guys,
I'm new here and new to TSM so please be gentle! We seem to be having issues getting our maintenance plan to finish in time. Many times it takes more than 12 hours. Our TSM infrastructure was delivered by consultants and now I am tasked with looking after it.
Here is a rundown of what we have:
Windows 2008r2 Server (dell r710)
24 Cores
12gb of ram
Dell ML6000 Library (3 Drives LTO4 attached directly to 4GB FC cards in the server)
Disk pools and DB are on Equallogic iSCSI luns
Currently backing up ~65 windows servers (with some TDP agents)
TSM version 6.2.0
The server runs pretty much at Idle 24/7 so I don't think it’s a resource issue.
Here is the maintenance plan we are running:
/* BACKUP_STORAGE_START */
SERIAL
backup stg FILESDPOOL CPBACKUPTPOOL wait=yes
backup stg AGENTDPOOL CPBACKUPTPOOL wait=yes

COMMTIMEOUT 14400
MAXS 100
ACTIVELOGSIZE 10240
Does anything jump out at you with my setup? When writing large files, I am getting approximately 1 gig/min writing directly to tape.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Dan
