Hemant,

are you using FC or SATA drives on the 6140 S-vols?  Also assuming this is
virtualized behind the 9990V in order to use ShadowImage.  I'd probably
recommend some testing independent of NetBackup to see how fast you can
pull data off these volumes.  Such as use something like ufsdump, tar or
cpio output to /dev/null and watch the transfer rates with something like
"iostat -xcn 3".  If that looks good try manually allocating one of the
LTO4 drives and check the raw write speeds to the tapes in a similar
fashion.  If both check out ok then it's most likely a NetBackup tuning
issue.  Either way, at least you'd know where the bottle-neck is at
that point.

Hope this helps.

John
