NIC Teaming Slow Throughput, any ideas?
Hey guys, We currently have 2Gig set up through NIC teaming for our backup exec setup.When we have backups running, it barely reaches 35-40% of the bandwith. I am using Backup Exec 2010. Has anyone else here set up NIC teaming before? What are some things that might cause slow performance? Are there any specific settings in Backup Exec that may help? Thanks!5.2KViews3likes9CommentsDevice Pool, Concurrent Operation
Backup Exec 2010 R3 on Server 2003. Two Tandberg 8-slot autoloaders with one drive each, placed in a device pool. If I set my jobs to target the pool only one job runs at a time. To use both devices at the same time, I have to target the devices individually, not the pool. How do I get concurrent operation out of the device pool? Library Expansion Option is installed.856Views0likes6CommentsDuplicate to tape "Rule Blocked"
I setup my 3600 to backup a server full / Incrim for a few months just to dedupe locally now a tape is being required so I installed a quantum ulta 5 half height tape library. (no updates available on the 3600 I am on 2012 SP4 with all the latest hotfix's) Ensured it is on the latest FW, did a full diagnostic via quantums propriertery software, ensured the hba was also on its latest firmware/driver ( I did this after when troubleshooting). Connected the tape drive and installed it via adding a tape drive in storage and used the symantec drivers. I then proceeded to modify the rule for the server I am backing up to dupelicate to tape and with all backups selected, then with most recent full backup to which I got a running job then back to scheduled with nothing else I tried a one off backup job and it worked.... I then created a new job with the same settings and deleted the old job I now get a rule blocked. I then proceeded to disable/hold every other job and clean out every old job, recoverys etc.... and tried it again still rule blocked I then changed the full backup to yearly removed inc and the tape to yearly and set it 6 months apart still rule blocked. to note I am trying to backup lotus DB only not exchange and I only have 2GB lleft on dedupe/disks I am at my 500gb reserve, so no new disk backups can occur I have also disabled all error handling rules and enabled logging to the maximum and couldnt see anything to which it was referring to ? any ideas as I am going out of my mind on thisSolved1.3KViews1like4CommentsCannot add HP tape library in BE storages
Hello, BE 2014SP2 in Windows 2012R2 Server (VM) with library expansion option and current maintenance I'm trying to setup HP MSL4048 tape library. The HCL prooves the validity of the specified HP model. The steps I'm following: I select Configure Storage from the Storage tab of the BE management console I select the listed BE Server On "which type of storage do you want to configure?" I select Tape storage On "what type of tape storage do you want to configure?" there's only one selection "Run the Hot-swappable Device Wizard" which apparently has nothing to do with tape libraries.. So what am I missing here? I know the BE drivers are not supported when BE installed on Windows 2012R2. Is there something that need to be done prior the above steps? Any help is much appreciatedSolved1.1KViews0likes3Commentsbackup - wait for new tape

Hello I have a Quantum i80 device with 2 IBM UKTRIUM-HH6LTO6 drives that I have updated the firmware on as Quantum has said. It is shown that the drives will work with Backupexec 2014 once I update the firmware. I have the drives attached by FC though a FC switch to the blade that is running the server. This is a brand new install. New 2012 R2 server and new tape library. I can see the Library in Backupexec with the two drives but one drive is always saying "missing device" I have tried reboots and rediscovery a bunch of times but it still just says missing device. Does anyone have any ideas?2.1KViews0likes9CommentsMSL Library Windows 2012 R2 MOVE_MEDIUM Timeout
I am getting timeout errors when I try to load a tape using Backup Exec. It's been running on a Windows 2k server and BE 12 for years. Works great. I have a a new server running Windows 2012 R2 and it takes the drive and library offline. I'm running tracer from Symantec to log the commands. On the 2012 server, after 37 seconds I get a ASPI = SCSI_COMPLETED_WITH_ERROR HBA = SELECTION_TIMEOUT On the old server, after 46 seconds I get SCSISTAT_GOOD STATUS_SUCCESS I've powered down everything 5 times. I've tried HP drivers and also the stock Microsoft drivers. After 2 days of searching HP and Symantec I need some help.921Views0likes5CommentsBE Slow Throughput to HP Disk Library...
Greetings! I have a server running 2012 R2 and BE 2014 and the data transmission speed to my HP MSL4048 tape library is abysmally slow. The Library is connected to the server via fibre and the server is connected to the network via 10 GB Twinax to a Cisco Nexus. I've tested the LAN throughput by writing a backup job to disk and that transmission speed was in the 3-5 GB/Min range. When we back up to the tape library, the transmission speed drops to 3 MB/Min. Also, if I look at the properties of the library or tape drives in BE, the connection type is "unknown". I've worked with reps from both Symantec and HP and while all my firmware and drivers are now updated, I'm still getting slow speeds. It's important to note that this device was in use at another location and shipped here, so we know it can get acceptable throughput.Solved1.2KViews0likes7CommentsD2D2T through SAN
The scenario desired is this: - Backup Exec Media Server installed within Virtual Machine (VMWare) - SAN Storage used as Backup Target (LUNs) - Tape library connected to SAN fro tape out Is there a way to set this up somehow by presenting both SAN and tape library to the BE MEdia Server and the effectively setup D2D2T with direct tape out from the SAN?Solved1.1KViews0likes3Comments
