Many DSA commands read an XML file that specifies setup information or job details by specifying values for XML elements.

The following table indicates accepted values, case sensitivity, and character number restrictions for XML element values. These are in accordance with typical XML standards for Analytics Database / Teradata Database.

XML Element Requirements

storage_type Accepted values: cool, hot. Must be entered in lowercase letters.
streams_softlimit Optional, range is 1- max soft limit of the stream soft limit, where max is the number of AMPs per node in the system.
Optimize for the following:
  • Best backup throughput or storage efficiency: use 1- # of AMPs per node
    • Best deduplication
    • Take NetBackup startup time and Data Domain limits into account
  • Backup performance with unreasonable backup job start up time due to the NBU 1 stream per second limit: target 100 streams per Data Domain unit. This is usually enough to hit the Data Domain ingest limit for multiplexed deduplication ratio
  • Restore to the same configuration: Use the best backup value
  • Restore to a different configuration: Never let the total stream count (limit * nodes) exceed the AMP count of the smallest system.
Rough guidelines for deduplication impact.
  • If global reduction ratio is expected in 8x or higher range, reduce the expected ratio by 50%
  • If global reduction ratio is expected to be 3-8x, reduce the expected ratio by 25%
  • If global reduction ratio is expected to be lower than 3x, reduce the expected ratio by 10%
