That’s good,
Your question was about Advanced Disk disk pools and not about puredisk pools.
MSDP is a light edition of puredisk and many futures and parameters are missing. It is a shame that Symantec keep all the knowledge and does not have a document to give us a clue of what we can do with all pd.conf parameters (and there are more hidden on other conf files)

Stefanos,
I did find a pd.conf file on the media server under\netbackup\bin\ost-plugins which has a “Optimized-duplication max bandwidth (KB/Sec)
# OPTDUP_BANDWIDTH = 0” setting which can be tweaked to limit the bandwidth used for all optimized duplication jobs originating via that media server. This would appear to do what we need except that it throttles ALL duplication jobs from that media server and after thinking about it, we need to throttle the bandwidth used by duplication jobs originating from a specific policy.
In the old Puredisk environment we use to backup our remote sites, there is a bandwidth setting that is based on each individual policy (we have 1 policy per remote site) to avoid the line between the remote sites and our data center being clogged with backup traffic. This feature didn’t get integrated into NBU 7 although it’s a puredisk engine that manages NBU 7’s dedupe and optimized duplication abilities.

No, you can not set any limit to the traffic between two media servers.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Limit Bandwidth Utilization During SLP Duplication jobs
Does anyone know if there is a way to limit the amount of bandwidth used in the duplication portion of a Storage Lifecycle Policy between two Advanced Disk disk pools ? On our data domain appliances we have the ability to set throttle schedules which limit the amount of bandwidth available when duplicating between the two appliances as part of a SLP. Is there an equivalent setting for Advanced Disk disk pools which stop duplication jobs from saturating our line during duplication activity ?
Thanks,
