I am only getting about 3-6 megabytes/s when backing up to LTO 2 tape drives.
I would expect that I should get somewhere near the advertised value, but I am
not. Here are the details.
- Legato Network 6.7.1
- Solaris 8 (latest patches)
- Sun L700 with 6 HP LTO 2 tape drives
- Backup Server is a Sun Fire V880
- Backup Client is Sun Enterprise 4500
- Network pipe for backups is a dedicated, directly connected (no switch), dual
gigabit ethernet, which is trunked (glued together into 1 virtual pipe)
The data on the client which is being backed up are images (photos) which are a
few megabytes in size. I decided to split up the save sets into 6 different
client configurations with the parallelism set to 6 so that all 6 tape drives
would be used at the same time during backups but this isn't happening either..
I can only seem to write to a few tape drives at once..
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
TIA,
Alex
