Re: [Veritas-bu] Media Servers needed

Re: [Veritas-bu] ESL Poor LAN Performance
Hello Simon How is the performance if you run backup of the media server it self to the new library ? Thinking if that is poor the problem is between the media server and ESL library Anything to see on SAN switch ? If both LTO4 and LTO5 is connected trough the same HBAs, you can have situation where the LTO4 is taking up all the fiber bandwidth at concurrent backup to LTO4 LTO5 Regards Michael Sendt fra min iPhone Den 19/11/2013 kl. 16.06 skrev Simon Weaver simon.wea...@iscl.net: I am referring to doing a backup over the Local Area Network to either the LTO4 or LTO5 drive via a Media Server. The only thing SAN Attached is the Media Server to the LTO4 and LTO5 library. One client is in the same room as the Media Server and backups to the LTO5 is bad. Yet going through all the diagnostics on the HP ESL show nothing. For now, I have reverted back to the LTO4, where speeds are great! But it makes ZERO sense. I do feel it is comms related, but it is trying to prove that.

Problem. Backups over the LAN throughput is really bad going to the LTO5 Library. To give you an idea, 20 hours to backup 100GB. I cancel the job, revert backup policy to the LTO4 library, same media server and backups of the same capacity done in 2 hours. I have gone through all settings on the ESL, cannot see anything, found nothing to research, but I cannot sustain this sort of throughput! Yet, I cannot quite understand why this is happening.
