Hi there,
I'm experiencing a strange issue, but I don't think it has anything to do with Netbackup. However, I'd like to put this out there to see if any of you have a solution.
We have two VM's. Both are SAP and both run Oracle 11g.Both DB's are roughly the same size. Approx: 640GB
Both VM's are in the same SAP backup policy.
VM1 has 2 vCPU's and 16 GB of RAM
VM2 has 4 vCPU's and 16 GB of RAM
VM1's backup is is 3 hours.
VM2's backup is 11 hours.
Both are running Windows 2008 Datacentre and are both backing up to the same storage unit. VM1 runs at about 60 MB / sec, and VM2 is about 15 MB/sec.
Each VM is running on a different ESX host, however, vmotion does not solve the problem.
Both VM's storage is on the same SAN (XIV)
Therefore, is there any oracle parameters (outside of Netbackup) that could affect backups? Could Oracle be causing this issue?
We have this very same issue on a few other VM's. Some backup very fast, some slow (That's in our TSM environment)
If anybody can help, it would be appreciated.
We are running Netbackup 7.6 on Windows 2008 R2. We have one media / master server.
