Netbackup Appliances 5230 with PureDisk: How many streams?
Hi all, We recently migrated to Netbackup Appliances running Netbackup 7.6.0.1 (Appliance version 2.6.0.1 ) We are running 2 appliances per site, each site is its own NBU domain (We use AIR to replicate). Each appliance is configured with a 70TB PureDisk volume. We are quite new to PureDisk that is running on these systems, but at this moment they are limited to 80 streams maximum in the diskpool object (Which seems pretty low to me) At the moment we are running out of resources due to this maximum that has been set. What is the maximum streamcount a 5230 Appliance PureDisk can safely handle? Note that we are using AIR to replicate all our images, but replication is being done during the day, not during backup times... Any advice is greatly appreciated! Thanks!1KViews1like2Comments
MSDP encryption (ServerOptions=agent_crypt) (or should it be =encrypt)
Hi Forum, Page 30 of the NetBackup Deduplication Guide v7.5 says that... by default MSDP encryption is disabled by default, but they it is recommended by Symantec. Page 70 says that to enable encryption that we need to add "agent_crypt" to "ServerOptions=" in the ContentRouter.cfg file. But looking at the comments in the file: ; [no]agent_crypt : always disable/enable client-side encryption; ; [no]encrypt : always disable/enable encryption; ...indicates that using "agent_crypt" instructs the client-side deduplication agent to encrypt data. At our site we are not implementing client side deduplication so it woudl seem to me that setting :agent_crypt" won't have any effect. My questions are: 1) Is "agent_crypt" really the option to use if what we are trying to achieve is encryption of the post-dedupe blocks on teh MSDP data storage local to teh MSDP media server? 2) What does the "ServerOptions=encrypt" option do, and how is it different to "agent_crypt" ? 3) If we can determine which option really does enable post-dedupe encryption - then does anyone know what the CPU overhead is ? 4) Are there any particular models of CPU (SPARC or Intel or AMD) that implement the encryption/decryption in their hardware instruction sets - i.e. are there any CPUs that are much better suited for use with MSDP encryption ? Thanks, Dave.Solved1.8KViews1like4Comments
MSDO & PureDisk
Hello everybody!! Do you know what is exactly the difference between MSDO and PDDO? I read that in the future PureDisk won't be supported by Symantec and some articles about how to migrate PDDO to MSDO... I have this doubt because I was working with a PureDisk environment but some TSE call servers MSDP Server.... so I'm confused... do you have any idea?Solved1.5KViews1like3CommentsOutlook PST Puredisk 6.6 backup algorithm
Hi, I have a scenario where PC users will typically do a backup of their local PSTs to their file servers every day. I.e. run a script that copies the local PST over to their file server home drives. File name will remain the same and overwrite previous day's backup. File name remains the same. My question is whether Puredisk agent will see the Outlook PST as a new file (backup 100%) or same file (dedupe base on delta from previous day) ? Appreciate anyone who have experience with this. Best regards, fylSolved727Views1like1Comment
