We do this with all of our backups, our biggest server has over 450
clients. We have not hit any limitations yet due to number of groups or
savegrp.. Our limitations have been more due utililization of the box (
we limit ourselves to 64 simulatenous streams at one time, over 7 LTO1
drives)

Hey All,

 

I'm getting a bunch of ATA disk this year that I plan on using as AFDs.
One of my biggest pain spots is cloning.  We clone everything from
everyday.  I am considering changing my group setup from what I have
now, around 30 big groups, to 1 group for each client so that I can
utilize automatic cloning and the random accessibility of AFDs.  So that
said... my questions are below...

BTW V880/Solaris 9 

 

Is anyone doing this now in a medium sized environment(300 clients) or
have you and it didn't work well?

 

Are there any known limits to the number of groups... or number of
savegrp commands that can be running at once?

 

This is just kind of an earlier thinking process on this, so if you have
better suggestions for utilization AFDs I would love to hear them.

 

Thanks,

 

Joel
