Configuring Fibre Transport For Optimized Duplication And Auto Image Replication Over Fc - VERITAS NetBackup Series Manual

Configuring Fibre Transport for optimized duplication and Auto Image Replication over FC

Configuring Fibre Transport for optimized
duplication and Auto Image Replication over FC
Step Action
Step 1 Determine whether your appliance
HBA configuration supports FT for
optimized duplication and Auto Image
Replication.
Note:
The HBA configuration of 53xx
C and 5240 H support optimized
duplication and Auto Image
Replication over FC, but can only
support using the appliance as a
source.
Step 2 Learn about FT for optimized
duplication and Auto Image
Replication.
Step 3 Learn about default HBA port mode
for optimized duplication and Auto
Image Replication over FC.
Note: A mix of SAN Client job loads where some clients use four or more FT pipes
concurrently with several other SAN Clients that only attempt to use a single FT
pipe at a time increases the odds that a higher
server imbalance.
For four gBit/s links, there may be situations where overall throughput can degrade
when some or all SAN Clients are using multiple concurrent data streams. This
scenario may be especially true for NetBackup 5220 appliances. In those situations,
