NetBackup™ Backup Planning and Performance Tuning Guide

Best practices: NetBackup Sybase database

Database memory allocation

During installation and upgrade processes, NetBackup interrogates the total system memory and allocates between 1 GB and 1/3 of the total system memory to the Sybase database server. This allocation can be adjusted by increasing the value of the -ch option in server.conf.

The server.conf file is found in these locations:

  • Windows:

    <install_path>\VERITAS\NetBackupDB\conf\server.conf

  • UNIX:

    /usr/openv/var/global/server.conf

More information about the -ch option is available:

-ch Database Server Option (SAP SQL Anywhere Server - Database Administration)
