Chapter 5 Staging 135
For example, the following directive line specifies that only one drive from the dog
family set’s library be used for staging files:
For more information on the mcf file, see the mcf(4) man page.
You can also specify this directive by using the File System Manager software. For
more information, see the File System Manager online help.
Setting the Stage Buffer Size
By default, a file being staged is read into memory in a buffer before being restored
from the archive media back to online disk cache. You can use the bufsize directive
to specify a nondefault buffer size and, optionally, to lock the buffer. These actions
can improve performance, and you can experiment with various buffer-size values.
This directive has the following format:
TABLE 5-1 Arguments for the drives Directive
Argument Meaning
library The family set name of a library as it appears in the Sun StorageTek SAM mcf
file.
count The maximum number of drives to be used. By default, this is the number of
drives configured in the mcf file for this library.
drives = dog 1
bufsize = media buffer-size [lock]
TABLE 5-2 Arguments for the bufsize Directive
Argument Meaning
media Specify the archive media type from the list on the mcf(4) man page.
buffer-size A number from 2 through 1024. The default is 4. This value is multiplied by
the dev_blksize value for the media type, and the resulting buffer size is
used. The dev_blksize value is specified in the defaults.conf file. The
higher the number specified for buffer-size, the more memory is used. For
more information on this file, see the defaults.conf(4) man page.
