Re: [Veritas-bu] Real World NBU Buffer settings Win2k3

Simon,
For what it’s worth
64kb buffer size
128 buffers
Multiplex 6
LTO4
10GB backbone/2Gb FC
I have played around with all sorts of buffer sizes but in our
mixed environment 64 works best.
But 4 days for 1.7TB seems more like the norm to me. We have
several servers verging on 1TB that can take 36 hours.

Hi
All
Anyone
got any real world experience on buffer settings:
scenarion:
Win2k3
San Media, connected to 2GB Fabric attached 8 LTO4 Drives.
Due
to drive availability, Multiplexing onto one drive.
Main
problem: One volume (1,7tb in size) takes over 4 days to fully complete.
Got
the Tuning Guide and Technote 244602, but I tried some settings, only to find
the backup would not even mount tape correctly.
So
back to "no" settings at the mo.
Volume
are generic files/folders, mixture of large and small sizes. But 1.7TB's in my
view should be done quicker. Also Data is compressed.
Regards
Simon
