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!
Backup Exec 2014 (or 2012) AWS Storage Gateway problems
I need assistance from someone who has successfully implemented the AWS Storage Gateway-VTL in either Backup Exec 2012 or in Backup Exec 2014. On the AWS site, it shows that BE 2012 is a supported application for their Storage Gateway-VTL. On the Key feature list for BE 2014 is shows that AWS Storage Gateway is supported. I have not been able to get the VTL to work properly in either. The problem I am having is that the robotic library (an STK L700) shows up, all 10 of the tape drives show up (ULT3580-TD5), but the drives are not listed under the library. There are drives under the library, but they are all in red and have a "missing device" error. I have tried for the last 3 days to work with Symantec support to resolve this. They claim that the library is support and the drives are supported, but the drives are not support inside of the library. They provided links to the HCL for both BE 2012 and BE 2014 to prove their point. So, I asked them why their key new feature matrix for 2014 show support for AWS Storage Gateway and the setup documentation in AWS shows a screenshot of the drives under the library in BE 2012. They didn't have an answer for this. They are now telling me that instead of working with me to resolve my issue, they are instead working with the marketing group to remove support for AWS from the feature list. WTF?!? The support group is either unwilling or unable to connect me with the product team so that I can get some clarification on what components of the Storage Gateway is supported (besides the VTL, there is also a disk based gateway). So, if anyone out there has successfully connected their BE installation to the AWS Storage Gateway I would greatly appreciate it if you shared the "secret sauce". Thanks, ALM
Installing BE on Hyper-V
I was wondering if someone can point me to a good document on how to go about installing BE on a Microsoft 2008 R2 Hyper-V host. The host server has of course the Hyper-V host, as well as four other virtual machines (Exchange, Terminal Server, SQL, as well as just a file server). I would like to find a document that talks about actual installation and best practices. Thank you for your help.
Amazon S3 offline this device has not been discovered correctly
I have backup exec 15 running. When I first installed, I was able to connect to amazon S3 and backup data to a bucket that I created. This worked for a few days. Then all of a sudden the Amazon S3 storage device says "offline this device has not been discoveredcorrectly and to restart services. I restarted services, rebooted, removed/re-added, etc - and I can't figure it out. Not sure if there's a network communiaction issue between my amazon instance and S3 or what. It seems my config is correct because I was able to get it working for a few days. If I remove and re-add it seems to connect as it finds my S3 bucket, but the storage just stays offline. Not sure how to diagnoise.
