hi,
i am testing ndmp backup solutions on my f760[part of a cluster] running 5.36r2, against a spectralogic treefrog. questions:
1. once backup started sysstat 1 showed cpu util at about 40% during mapping and initially 100% during dump for about 2-3 minutes and then much lower numbers since then. is the 100% util normal? nothing else is running, system is not prod yet.
2. can ait2 tapes be "bad" fresh out of the wrapper? the software would not handle 1 of the tapes, backup vendor said tape was probably bad. what is the ndmp response to a "bad" tape?
3. is the chip in the ait tapes used by ndmp backup?
thanks
