Hi Everyone,
In working with support on a couple issues we've realized that we have
different
values for commtimeout, idletimeout, and resource timeout.
We have: 2 dedicated library manager instances
7 tsm instances for BA client file backups
2 tsm instances for BIG LanFree Oracle backups (tdpo/lanfree)
(db's > 1TB)
(all the big lanfree nodes are in these instances
32 Nodes with tdpo/lanfree setups
All instances share the same tape drives via the dedicated library
managers.
The dedicated library managers, TSM instances for big lanfree nodes,
and the storage agents are all defined with the following parms:
commtimeout 14400
idletimeout 240
resourcetimeout 60
The seven tsm instances for normal BA client backups have the following
parms:
(These tsm servers include the problem-child Windows nodes with millions
of small files.)
commtimeout 3600
idletimeout 150
resourcetimeout 60
IBM support indicated that ALL instances in this environment should use
the same values
for these parms. If they are not the same, then it can be a cause for one
of the problems we are fighting (scsi reservation errors).
I'm not sure if the values above are good/bad/ugly, or, what values
should be used. I'm not finding many specific recommendations.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Rick
