2 .According to the approved design, the backup to be done only on ethernet interface due to ORACLE ARMAN .
3. In order to use the DSSU , we may need the some storage space but we have tight space on the SAN to store the image.
4. We'are planning to use the LTO4 drive.
5. I have setup the jambo-frames but the performance is that significant yet.
Right now, I am tesing the netbackup performance in the development environment . Previously , I used the linksys switch to connect to the SAN interface of the server. ( I'm using ISCSI in my development , eth0 is connected to backup LAN and eth2 is connected to the SAN on each master NBU server and netbackup client server. ) I have recently used the cisco switch and set the jambo-frames in both NIC in the server and Cisco switch . But the performance on 100 GB data is not that significant without/ with using jambo-frames as well as Linksys switch and Cisco Switch. But the data is 3 GB x 33 nos of binary files , But I noticed that netbackup transformed those 33x 3GB binary files to about 100 GB tar file. I believe it take some time to transform these files to one single 100 GB file but there is no bottle neck in the network. Should i upgrade RAM?
