NBU forks multiple processes per job so you should benefit from
multi-core CPU's.
However, since backup/restore depends greatly on data input (network)
and output (tape/disk) you should ensure everything in the data path
(drivers, etc) can utilise multiple processes.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Multithreaded / Multicore CPUs
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
Phil Weber
