7.6.6 TSAIF and SMSConfig Examples
The following examples show how to perform typical TSAIF configuration for SMS.
smsconfig -l tsaif --help
Displays the options supported by the TSAIF.
smsconfig -l tsaif --readthreadsperjob=8
Sets the number of read threads that the TSAIF starts per job to 8.
smsconfig -l tsaif --readbuffersize=32768 --cachememorythreshold=15
Sets the read buffer size to 32KB and the maximum amount of cache memory that the TSAIF should
use to 15%.
7.6.7 NBackup Options
TSAIF supports the following typical
nbackup(1)
options:
--ReadThreadAllocation
This sets the maximum number of read threads that process a data
set at a given time. This determines the percentage of
ReadThreadsPerJob that should be allocated to a data set before
proceeding to cache another data set. This enables the TSA to store
a cache of data sets in a non sequential manner. This sets all read
threads to completely process a data set before proceeding to
another data set. The default value is 100.
--ReadAheadThrottle
This sets the maximum number of data sets that the TSA caches
simultaneously. This prevents the TSA from caching parts of data
sets and enables complete caching of data sets instead. Use this
switch along with the ReadThreadAllocation switch. The default value
is 2.
--CacheMemoryThreshold
This is used to specify the percentage of available server memory
that the TSA can utilize to store cached data sets. This represents a
maximum percentage value of available server memory that the TSA
uses to store cached data sets. The default value is 10% of the total
server memory.
Option Command
--exclude-file=pattern Excludes all files matching the name (owner, folder, or file)
or pattern for back up or restore. Use this option multiple
times to exclude more than one pattern.
-F, --full-paths
Stores the full paths for both directories and files in the
created archive.
-k, --keep-old-files
Does not overwrite existing files while extracting files from
the archive. Files are overwritten if this option is not
present.
-N, --after-date=date Backs up files newer than date.
