Vmware issue

[muhanad_daher]

Dear Experts,

if i have an ESX 5 server and there are many of host installed on the ESX, and the total size for the backup is in TBs.  Also i don't need to have aproblem in performance.

what is your suggestion for this issue, and are there any way to manage a TCP and VMware?

i open case with this issue to have an answer; and they suggest to use a vStorage API.  i asked Symantec to give us a presenation to kave more idea about vStorage.

vStorage API this is what Keeps Symantec on top of other brands. Just go through Blog series from Abdul

Which makes it crystal clear

Refer the transport methods available with VMWare offered in NBU with vStorage API

can vStorage solve bandwidth problem?

[V4 · Accepted solution]

yes, it can if you offload vmware backup traffic from LAN to SAN. But make sure Datastore is having ample I/O to handle it during backup.. synd up with VMWare admin during backups  for performance impact seen on datastore and other guests. You can  limit number of backups to happen at a time.. and other measures from VMware Limits under netbackup master server host properties
