Hi all,
I have a Media Server AIX:
uname -a
AIX media-dr-3 1 6 00F88DD94C00
cat /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/version
NetBackup-AIX6 7.6.1
when I have some processes "bpstsinfo" that take much RAM memory resurses.
Pid Command Inuse Pin Pgsp Virtual 64-bit Mthrd 16MB
7274722 bpstsinfo 662024 8482 565466 1222562 Y Y N
6422756 bpstsinfo 386151 8482 289330 670547 Y Y N
4980804 bpstsinfo 385399 8482 289492 669959 Y Y N
7209162 bpstsinfo 244663 8482 8344 247306 Y Y N
3145856 nbsl 146530 8502 14212 119524 Y Y N
bpstsinfo 662024 8482 565466 1222562 Y Y N
6422756 bpstsinfo 386151 8482 289330 670547 Y Y N
4980804 bpstsinfo 385399 8482 289492 669959 Y Y N
7209162 bpstsinfo 244663 8482 8344 247306 Y Y N
3145856 nbsl 146530 8502 14212 119524 Y Y N
For example, I have pid 7274722 that take up 2,5 GB.
What do you think about this ? what tests can I do ??
thank you, regards
Stefano

How much memory in total on this server?
Maybe tell us what else is happening on this server when you see this?
Lots of duplications and/or replication jobs?
Are jobs completing successfully?
Something that I found in Troubleshooting Guide some time ago:
Verify that all media servers configured for the storage server can communicate with the storage server. The bpstsinfo command queries the storage server periodically, so you can use the bpstsinfo log on the media server.

- How much memory in total on this server?
the Media in total installed 8 GB ram.
- Maybe tell us what else is happening on this server when you see this?

8 GB of RAM is really very little for a media server.
We have laptops these days with double that amount!
What type of backup devices on this media server and how many?
What other software on this media server? Or dedicated media server?
11-17-2015 04:39 AM
you are right !
now we work to increment the memory 16GB, after upgrade if I have still the problem I ask you again :)
thank you for your precious support,
regards

Hi Marianne,
I return on this discussion because the problem is still also with 16 GB RAM.
Now we had incremented to 32 GB.
Please can you suggest what is the best memory configuration for a Media Server ?
thank you
best regards
