I have a 5220 ver 2.5.3 running Netbackup 7.5.0.6. I want to know of there is a way I can monitor my appliance to know if I am reaching limits with it in regards to amount of policys run at one time....

    The queue is still really big .. i guess as you have fired another off it is running at the moment but do show what --processqueueinfo shows to make sure one is running and one is queued.

    You need to just keep on top of this .. one one is running but one is not queued then use --processqueue to fire another off .. keep doing that until the queue comes down

    Are you sure all of your disks are OK - based on the size it doesn't look like it is running very fast

    Maybe it needs the contentrouter.cfg doing and a reboot to speed things up anyway?

I believe that there are tools / health check wizards built into the latest version (2.6.1 / 7.6.0.1) but not in your version.

One of the most telling things on appliances (apart from actually having failures) is how the process queue is coping with things - the bigger and further behind that gets the worse your performance will get

/usr/openv/pdde/pdcr/bin/crcontrol --processqueueinfo

/usr/openv/pdde/pdcr/bin/crcontrol --queueinfo

As with any NetBackup installation there is also tuning that can be done to optimise an appliances usage (data buffers / workerthreads etc)
