[gpfsug-discuss] snapshots & tiering in a busy filesystem

[Sobey, Richard A]

We’re also snapshotting 4 times a day. Filesystem isn’t tremendously busy at all but we’re creating snaps for each fileset.

[root at cesnode tmp]# mmlssnapshot gpfs | wc -l
6916

Subject: [gpfsug-discuss] snapshots & tiering in a busy filesystem

I found this link and it didn't give me much hope for doing snapshots & backup in a home(busy) filesystem:

I realize this is dated and I wondered if qos etc have made is a tolerable thing to do now.  Gpfs I think was barely above v3.5 in mid 2013.
