Hmm ... "relying on" could be a problem. Are the systems configured to use DNS
first ... a DNS that is not there? Every host name resolve has to wait while a
DNS request or two (secondaries) times out? If DNS server is not available,
remove resolv.conf and check the hosts: line of /etc/nsswitch.conf.
Long shot, but duplex mismatches on the master or GUI host network can cause
big slow downs.
Take the network and GUI out of the equation by using the command line on the
master.
Get a file listing with a command line this:
bplist -B -C <client> -unix_files -l -t 0 -R -s 01/01/2011 -e 02/09/2011 /
-t 0 is backup type. 0 is Standard. 13 is Windows-NT.
-A instead of -B if you want the file list from archives rather than backups.
The man page for bplist will fill in more details if needed.

Subject: Re: [Veritas-bu] Backup Archive and Restore taking forever on DR
server
My apologies, I should have added that.
In my live environment, I have two servers:
ziggurat - Master/Media RHEL4
obelisk - media RHEL4
For "DNS" I'm just relying on the /etc/hosts file as I'm only trying
to recover 5 systems. The source system that I'm restoring from is not
here, not have we built a replica on it. I'm trying to browse files
that were backed up on server-A in my live environment and restore
them to server-B here in the DR environment.
I can browse down the directory tree, it just takes 20 minutes to do
what I can do in 10 seconds in prod. I'm assuming it's trying to call
out the server-A. I don't see why it should have to do that since the
metadata for the restore files should be in the catalog here on my
master server.
-Thanks.
