> Hi all,
>
> We are running ADSM 3.1 on a R40 (6 way 200MHz) hi node in an SP2. We are
> backup up
> a 1TB DB2 EEE database which is running on 24 silver nodes (2 way 332
> MHz).
> The SP2
> is running at AIX 4.3.2 and PSSP 2.4. The ADSM server has a 3494 attached
> with 16
> 3590 B1A tape drives.
>
> Our problem is that, we started out with 6 drives and completed the backup
> in 12 hours.
> Now that we added 10 drives and 2 additional frames to the 3494, our
> backup is actually
> taking longer to complete 13-14 hours using 8 drives at a time. The DB2
> backups write directly
> to tape. I am hoping to complete the backups within 9 hours or less using
> up to 12 drives.
>
> I have started playing around with the tuning values in ADSM and AIX, but
> have not come up
> with the correct combination. So, if anyone has any experience with a
