[Veritas-bu] Slow backups over 10Gb

Hi, Per your second e-mail: Before looking at NetBackup, use iperf and run that first. http://lkml.org/lkml/2010/2/25/438 If iperf does not perform because of a switch issue or other bandwidth limitation, you aren't going to get anywhere :) Justin. On Thu, 4 Mar 2010, Justin Piszcz
