Do you have an entry:

CONNECT_OPTIONS = localhost 1 0 2

in the bp.conf on your Master Server?  See page 50/51 of the Performance 
Tuning Guide.  It does refer to when the server is busy, which yours is 
not.  As I read it, this causes internal connections not to be funnelled 
through vnetd but to use nonreserved ports and the traditional port 
numbers.

It doesn't sound hopeful but may be worth a try.  I'd also suggest that if 
the server is new you try and move to 6.5.4 as soon as you can before the 
environment grows too much.  If you are not on the FA programme you may 
have to wait for GA but that must be very soon.

Also, absolutely vital is that all the servers are online and IP lookup 
etc works.  You can configure not to require reverse lookups etc.  Any 
problems like that will cause very long pauses.

Subject
[Veritas-bu] NB 6.5.3 slow response for administrative tasks






Greetings,

I'm having some performance issues with various administrative
tasks in NetBackup 6.5.3.1 on a new master server and fewer than
20 active backup policies.

My master server is a Dell PE2950 server with 16GB memory running
Redhat 4 update 7.

What I'm seeing is really poor response when adding or changing
backup policy specifications.  Sometimes to update the backup
windows via the Admin console, it takes longer than 2 minutes - even
when there is no other activity.

I've also seen significant pauses when activating/deactivating
policies via the command line.

Are there system or database parameters that can be set to 
optimize response?  What worries me is that if I'm seeing this lousy
response on an unloaded master server, what will I see when it's
busy backing up a couple hundred clients?
