Yes, my question was about
Advanced Disk and not puredisk disk pools. My puredisk references were because
a lot of the new features in NBU 7.0 (Deduplication, optimized duplication
etc..) have been taken from their puredisk product and rolled into Netbackup.

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.

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,
