Hi everyone,
Noticed something weird and I hope someone has an idea whats going on:
NetBackup 7
master solaris 10
media solaris 10 and windows 2003 (32 bits)
Here's what I got:
backup of windows 2003 clients works just fine, got speed up to 15000-17000 KB/s
same policy but with Windows 2008 clients, speed starts at 12000 and goes steadily down to 4000-6000 KB/s
from there, I tested the backups from the master and from a unix media and windows media server with the same results, so I ruled out the platform impact.
I had a look at whats happening on the client side as well. On the 2k3 client, the bpbkar32.exe goes up to 100% CPU when listing the backup and then to a normal average 30% usage. On the 2k8 it goes up to 100% and stays there until the backup is done. From there, I went to the Windows guys and they told me that the registry on the 2k8 could be up to 6-7Go on a brand new server. Willingly to rule out the obvious, I tried a backup of the C:\ without the system state and got the same speed results. I'm waiting for those guys to provide a different drive with data for me to test on to completely rule out the registry.
Before opening a case, does anyone got the same issue? any ideas? solution?
Thanks
David
