Hi,

Does anyone have any experience of running NetBackup on Multithreaded /
Multicore CPUs, or knowledge of whether NetBackup can multithread to
take advantage of such hardware?  Maybe more important is how the OS
would allocate CPU resources to the tape drives & NICs ... any
ideas/experience would be helpful.

Thinking of upgrading media servers to Sun T2000s, but getting
conflicting opinions of whether it would perform.
Would be NetBackup 5.1, Solaris 10.

thanks, Phil
