Small amount of traffic is expected due to the Meta-Data flow while updating
the indexes and the media database on the NSR Server
You could use netstat or some utility to check the network activity as which
port the server and storage node are communicating etc.  That should be
service ports not communication ports.

Stan,

The Storage Node doing the cloning is the same Storage
Node that wrote
the backups. And it is reading what it wrote to the
CDL (during backup)
and writing to tape in SL500.

The server is just a passive box, for CFI/Index, etc.
