Stripes
In earlier versions, Backup Server could dump to a maximum of 32 stripes,
either disk or tape. In 12.0, more stripes are available. The maximum number
of stripes it can use is equal to the maximum number of Open Server threads it
can create.
Note The documentation for ASE 12.0 still refers to 32 stripes, but this is an
error.
Network Connections
The maximum number of network connections a local Backup Server can
originate is limited by Open Server to 9118. Therefore, the maximum number
of remote stripes that Backup Server can use in a single
dump or load operation
is 9118.
File Descriptors
Backup Server uses two file descriptors for each stripe apart from the file
descriptors associated with the error log file, interfaces file and other system
files. However, there is a per-thread limitation imposed by the operating system
on the number of file descriptors. Open Server has a limitation of 1280 on the
number of file descriptors that an application can keep track of.
Non-Rewinding Tapes
In ASE 12, the tape head is positioned at the end of valid dump data, which
saves time when you want to perform multiple dump operations. In previous
versions of ASE, Backup Server rewound the tape before each dump operation.
Starting Backup Server
When you start Backup Server, use the -P flag to configure the Open Server for
the maximum number of threads it will create. The maximum number of
threads equals the maximum number of stripes available. If you have started
Backup Server without setting a high enough
-P value and you attempt to dump
or load a database to a number of stripes that exceeds the number of threads,
the dump or load operation will fail.
