Ideas!

I am loving the new Ideas feature of Connect. If you haven't seen it, be sure and check out Peter's video explaining how it works.

I serve as an election judge in my municipality, so I love the voting process - at least right up until you reach the point where the courts are mired down with the decision and you don't have a US senator months after the election. (Can anyone guess what state I live in?) The fact that our customers can actually vote an idea up or down is intriguing to me. I'm going to give it a week or so, then I'm going to float some of my own ideas to see if you like them.

Go ahead, submit an idea that would make NetBackup better for your enterprise.

  • David Chapa has been writing up some very helpful tips at tha "BaR and Grill" blog. I especially enjoyed the "Frequency Based Backup" article.

1. ulimit -d unlimited ------ should allow larger process.
2. Increase the LDR_CNTRL=MAXDATA setting at the AIX level prior to executing the command.
export LDR_CNTRL=MAXDATA=0x20000000 ( Default on AIX is 0x10000000)
To make the setting permanent, place the LDR_CNTRL=MAXDATA=0x20000000 to the end of the/etc/environment file.
All must be set in the environment of the netbackup processes at startup.
3. NBU since 6.0.MP7 takes care of such issues. Because later the way the binaries were built was changed to take into consideration such scenarios. Making the changes in the /etc/environment will make the changes for the entire system.

Technical Explaination:-

On AIX, the 32-bit address space (= 232 or 4 GB) is divided into...
