We have been through the same exact issues with our networking team also
:-(
Try to get them to permit a single route to be set at forced 100/full
and run a comparative test. If you can get that, I think that you will
prove our point.
Thank you,

Try some other utility to measure network throughput...perhaps even an
FTP between the servers. See what the max speed is, then at least that
can tell you if its the network.
If the network isn't the problem, how is the file list / policy setup ?
is it multiple streams from a client ? if only 1 stream can you add more
concurrency by giving multiple drives rather than all drives ( I dont
know netware, so I'm applying windows/unix terms )..
On solaris, with DLT7k you might be able to up buffers to 128k, but this
isn't likely to make much difference to the sort of level you want.

Mark

All,
We are running NBU Datacenter 4.5_FP6 on a Solaris 8 master DLT7000
drives. All NIC's are mandatory AUTO - AUTO campus wide.
Historically, we are seeing less than 100kbps thruput from at least 2 of
the Netware servers we backup. They claim no NIC problems and no other
network speed problems, which led me to concentrate on the netbackup
config.
Buffer size = 64 on the netware server
NET_BUFFER_SZ = 65536 on master / media servers
>From the technotes I read, this should be ok.. and having OTM enabled
shouldn't slow things down THIS much right ?
Any ideas would be appreciated, we are probably going to open a case
with Veritas soon as well. Even if we could increase this to 400kbps or
500kbps that would be fantastic at this point.
Thanks,
Paul
