Table 6: Test data for concurrent backup tests under Windows NT.
Jobs: Number of Cheyenne backup jobs started concurrently under Windows NT.
SCSI Cards: Number of Wide-Ultra SCSI-3 cards used to connect to the 35/70 GB DLT drives.
DLT: Number of tape drives used.
RAIT Level: When a job used more than one drive, the drives were configured as RAIT 0.
SMART Cards – Number of SMART-2/P Array Controllers used per job (to help determine
loading factors).
Drives per Job: Number of hard disk drives per job (to give perspective on feed source to each
tape job running).
Note:
In all testing, care was taken to balance the loading of the two PCI buses.
