12 cool features in defrag 12
- 1. 12 cool features in Defrag.NSF+ v12
- 2. What is Defrag.NSF+? • The world’s first Domino-specific database defragmentation product running natively as a Domino server task. • A Custom multi-stage defragmentation engine with the ability to intelligently auto-switch between file and volume level defragmentation when required. • Automatic tagging of DB’s for defragging (Selection Method). • Integrated scheduling and configuration of the DBMT. • Analyse freespace within DB’s and add internal DB freespace to help reduce future fragmentation. • Automated Domino System DB maintenance -> scheduled compacting, defragging and Domino server restart.
- 3. What’s file system fragmentation? • Occurs when storage allocated to a file isn’t contiguous from the file system’s perspective. • Non-contiguous files (fragmented files) increase split I/Os, and increase the I/O processing load on the operating system • It affects the operating system and is irrelevant of the storage system, i.e. affects local disk, SANs, NAS, virtual disk, etc. • Fragmented files significantly affect backup times. • Contiguous files perform better. • Defrag.NSF re-aligns files in a contiguous manner even while Domino is running.
- 4. Super easy to install • Supplied and managed as a single Notes Database • Nothing extra to download • One click install • Supports Windows 2012/2016/2019 NTFS file systems • 64 bit
- 5. Here’s 12 cool reasons why you should use Defrag.NSF+
- 6. 1. A scheduler for Domino 12’s new Backup feature • Take advantage of Domino 12’s new backup feature and have it scheduled to run immediately after disk optimization • This leads to
- 7. Running backups after optimization has a fantastic side effect….
- 9. 3. Smart defragmentation • Some file defraggers can seriously fragment freespace. This is not helpful and interferes with DBMTs smooth operation. https://ab1osborne.blogspot.com/2010/07/closer-look-at-smart-file.html
- 10. 3. Smart defragmentation • Defrag.NSF does a better job, so freespace can be more useful to DBMT, this helps DBMT perform much better. https://ab1osborne.blogspot.com/2010/07/closer-look-at-smart-file.html
- 11. 3. Smart defragmentation • If required it can optionally do thorough job! https://ab1osborne.blogspot.com/2010/07/closer-look-at-smart-file.html
- 12. 4. The missing user interface for DBMT • Defrag.NSF includes a DBMT+ and its scheduler • No more trial and error of command line settings
- 13. 5. Defragmentation of Freespace • Fragmentation of freespace affects how DBMT preallocation performs. • Picture below shows a typical unmaintained server https://ab1osborne.blogspot.com/2010/07/defragnsf-v2-why-freespace.html
- 14. 5. Defragmentation of Freespace • The same server, same amount of freespace with Defrag.NSF scheduled freespace consolidation. https://ab1osborne.blogspot.com/2010/07/defragnsf-v2-why-freespace.html
- 15. 6. Intelligently exclude databases from DBMT • Extends the functionality of DBMT allowing it to skip compacting databases that don’t have freespace issues.
- 16. • A live example of DBMT optimisation set at 10%, providing a reduction in compact activity of 76% 6. Intelligently exclude databases from DBMT
- 17. 7. DBMT+ • Provide fine granular control of DBMT's operations, including databases and directories that should be excluded from processing
- 18. 8. Selectively Defrags for best return on effort • It’s silly to defrag a 50+GB database that is in just a couple of fragments. • Focus on best return on effort, making everything more efficient
- 19. 9. Easily maintain system databases • Easily schedule weekly maintenance of system databases
- 20. 10. High performance defragmentation • Domino databases can be extremely large so when possible Defrag.NSF just moves fragments • An example of a 10GB mail file being defragmented in 65 seconds
- 21. 11. Features that run for Free ! Feature Unlicensed (free) Licensed A GUI for DBMT including scheduler DBMT intelligently skips database DBMT skips recently processed databases Automatically enable database features like document compression, attachment compression and design ompression Automatically enables DAOS on databases Automatically performs system database maintenance Pre-allocate free space to prevent fragmentation Defragments Domino Databases Consolidate volume free space
