Recommendations:
These settings will allow the most scalability with OTM. These settings are not guaranteed to work on all NT servers. Depending on free disk space or available memory, these settings may have to be manually configured.
1. SNAPSHOT TYPE: Set OTM snap shot type to "Individual" unless multiple data streams is enabled. The "Individual" setting will allow OTM to create a snapshot per drive and will allow the cache file to be minimum size as a snapshot of one drive at a time will occur. This setting is recommended for servers with low disk space and when Multiple Data Stream backups are not enabled.
2. INITIAL CACHE SIZE: Set Initial cache size to 100MB. OTM will create the initial cache file before the backup starts. An initial cache setting of 100MB will allow the backup to start faster, but may slow performance slighty if the cache file needs to grow during the course of the backup due to open file activity. Setting this value higher will create a longer delay at the start of the backup until the cache file has been created. Creating a larger Initial cache file may increase performance during backups if frequent disk writes occur during the backup. The time for building the initial cache file will primarily depend on CPU speed and server activity.
3. MAX CACHE SIZE: Set Max cache size to 0MB. With the Max Cache Size set to 0MB, OTM will calculate 10 percent of the used disk space as its maximum.
- When "Global" is set for the snap shot type, OTM will calculate 10 percent of all used disk space for all disks included in the file list to be backed up.
- When "All Available" is set for the snap shot type, OTM will calculate 10 percent of all used disk space for all local disks on the server including drives that are not specified in the file list of files to be backed up. This value may need to be manually configured on some NT server that have over 35GB to be backed up (See below in Caveats).
4. CACHE FILE FIELD: Ensure the "Cache file" field is not configured or left blank. The Cache file field is used to allow the user to define the location of the Cache File. If this field is blank, OTM will dynamically and automatically place the cache file on a drive that has the most free space. OTM will attempt to place the cache file on a drive that is not being backed up. Due to available disk space, the cache file may end up on the drive that is active during the backup. When this occurs, the Initial cache file setting is not used and OTM will create an Initial cache file the same size as the maximum cache file size.
5. OTM ERROR CONTROL: Set "OTM Error Control" to "Retry OTM". This will allow NetBackup to pause the backup when the cache file fills up. OTM will then destroy the cache file, create another snapshot of the drive(s), and continue the backup.
6. CACHED FILES: It is NOT recommended to change this field from the default value of 0. When this field is set to 0, the cache file will not grow beyond the size of the configured "initial cache file" size if the "max cache file" size is set to any value other than 0. Since the recommended "max cache file" size setting is 0, the above limitation is not a factor (see bullet number 3). It has been found that leaving this value at its default value of 0 will allow OTM to operate more efficiently and dynamically on most servers. |
