Re: [Veritas-bu] VM snapshot deletion too slow

I believe best practice is to limit 4 jobs per datastore. This limits the number of snapshots happening and is a VMware limitation,not NBU. When you have too many snaps going on, things get unstable. Try doing 4, or less, per datastore. There's a global setting you can use, and I think a policy setting as well to limit this behavior.

But we have recently started facing this issue.

Could be a resource issue. Check on the backup host for any outstanding bpfis processes running.

Maybe reboot backup host and try again.

How many VM's are you backing up? I have seen this problem, and I had to reduce the number of VM's down in each backup.

Hello Geeks,

I am facing issues while snaspshot deletion at VMWARE side.

We are using Netbackup 7.5 and backing up our virtual machines with vmware policy.

Earlier snapshot creation and deletion was not that slow.

Now clients are taking like 6-7 hours for snapshot deletion and this is making vm too lsow.

Any piece of advise ?

PranavB
