Calculate , how much has been restored from tape in 1 minute
Hi All,
jdatest> uname -a
HP-UX jdadev B.11.11 U 9000/800 3251073457 unlimited-user license
We are in process of retoring datafiles from tape. it appeares to us that tapes are really slow to respond and now I am thinking of ctreating one schell script , which would able to calculate the data restored in terms of MB/per per minute. Looking forward to hear from you.
Regards
Alok

Re: Calculate , how much has been restored from tape in 1 minute
I would first check the bus speed (depending on technology used).
Example:
# scsictl -c get_target_parm /dev/rdsk/c2t0d0
# mptconfig /dev/mpt0
Hope this helps!
Regards
Torsten.

Re: Calculate , how much has been restored from tape in 1 minute
Thanks for the inputs. I think , my mistake , as I did not describe the way . I'd like it be. well, I have around 46 mound points like /db/jdatest/data1 to /db/jdatest/data46 and I am trying to do the df -P at 2 different interval to calculate , how much has been restored to disk from tape. since this effort is manual , I was thinking of creating a script , which will periodically tell us , how much being restored. I hope, I was able to communicated my point of concern this time.

Re: Calculate , how much has been restored from tape in 1 minute
The simplest is to run this command line.
while : ; do du -sk /Dir_to_Watch;sleep 60;done
This will report the total number of Kbytes in the directory you want to watch every 60 seconds.
