need help for Memory utilization and Network speed change

Question

Hello ALL,
Environment:
master,media server&nbsp; (Redhat) Netbackup 7.1.
Client&nbsp; (HPUX) Netbackup 7.1
VTL (fujitsu CS800)
&nbsp;
Issue:
&nbsp;&nbsp; When&nbsp; backup process starts on client (as per schedul) affecting its performance.
Can you clarify about how to&nbsp; change the buffer size and&nbsp; decrease the network speed ex.20MB/s
I found the article about similar issue on forum here https://www-secure.symantec.com/connect/forums/netbackup-memory-utilization
&nbsp;.But on our client machine under /usr/openv/netbackup/db/config/ is empty.
&nbsp;
The following is client machines cpu/ memory info.

Buffer tuning and network throttle are two different things. Network throttle is describes in these Tech notes:
http://www.symantec.com/docs/HOWTO13915
http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH153326
http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH30467
But in general normal backup should not affect system performance - if it does there is something wrong that need to be fixed.
Buffer tuning is used to improve general peformance - it is not a tool to slow down backups.
I wrote a small blog about buffer tuning here:&nbsp;http://www.mass.dk/netbackup/guides/49-netbackup-buffer-tuning.html

Hi Nicolai,
So changes to buffer size and network speed will not give result?
What can cause ?
P.S.. the policy type is standart..&nbsp; only file system..only one stream.
&nbsp;

turguns · Answer

Anyway, we changed the network speed.. for troubleshoot. I will inform you the result...thank you

turguns · Answer

Problem was solved by changing the network speed...thank you&nbsp; Nicolai..
We added LIMIT_BANDWIDTH = 10.10.25.10 10.10.25.10 60000&nbsp; to bp.conf&nbsp; .. 13-14MB/S
60000:8=75000( kbit to KB)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 75000x2=15000( full duplex (2way))
&nbsp;

nicolai · Answer

Glad to hear - and thank you for showing us the math behind the LIMIT_BANDIWTH setting&nbsp;

turguns · Answer

Hi guys
I am sorry.. That calculation was wrong.((((
I want to correct it..To dont blow another people's mind at future)
with 60000 at the beginning it was working with&nbsp; 13-14MB/s.. The backup size was 200GB.. after 2 hour it started with speed 23MB/s..
So&nbsp; we changed it 60000 to 13547.. And result was 12-13MB/s..
Now&nbsp; it is okay...
