[Veritas-bu] New netbackup master server spec
64 Gig, would you think thats a minimum, if you could afford more would nbu 7.0 use it? Any other general Spec considerations you would take? +-- |This was sent by declan.noo...@esb.ie via Backup Central. |Forward SPAM to ab...@backupcentral.com. +-- ___ Veritas-bu maillist - Veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu http://mailman.eng.auburn.edu/mailman/listinfo/veritas-bu

Any other general Spec considerations you would take? There are a lot of it depends here. It depends on how many jobs you're scheduling and how frequently. It depends on whether you're a media server as well as a master server. It depends on whether you're doing de-dupe. It depends on how many restores you're doing and how big those restores are. Since you have a pair of master servers now, you're in good shape to know what your expected load should look like. Take the requirements for both servers, add them up, figure out how much you're currently behind the curve, and add your expected growth. You can pick up a nice DL580 G7 - the performance model comes pre-configured with 4 8-core processors and 64GB of RAM. We're getting one with Linux to replace our aging Solaris-based server but there's no reason you couldn't run Windows on it. .../Ed ___ Veritas-bu maillist - Veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu http://mailman.eng.auburn.edu/mailman/listinfo/veritas-bu

with Ed here - G7 are super machines, and strongly and highly recommended for Windows !

Hi All We have been tasked with putting together a spec for a new NBU master server and i just want to get some advice on RAM etc, at the momet we are using a mixed setup with one windows and one unix master both on 6.5.5, we are going to be moving to a single master server with possibly 4-6 media servers backing up to VTL dxi's, weekly backups are hitting 100TB with daily cumulative during the week, if we are using server 2008 R2 would someone be able to advise levels of processor and ram required for good performance, any questions at all please do ask and i will do my best to answermany thanks +-- |This was sent by declan.noo...@esb.ie via Backup Central. |Forward SPAM to ab...@backupcentral.com. +-- ___ Veritas-bu maillist - Veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu http://mailman.eng.auburn.edu/mailman/listinfo/veritas-bu
