AHV Proxy only process 4 VMs in parallel

Post by arogarth »

Hello, anyone else have the same problem?
I configured a Proxy to run 20 Jobs in Parallel (RAM and CPU are also configured). But the Proxy is only processing 4 Disks in parallel.

On another Proxy I reduced the Jobs to 2 - this limitation works. If I increase to 5 - Only 4 Jobs are running.

The Limitation on the Repo is >25 or not limited - tested both.

I opened a Ticket at VEEAM support - but I want to know if anyone else has the same problem.

Hello,
but I want to know if anyone else has the same problem.
yes - but not sure how much that helps :-)
I opened a Ticket at VEEAM support
as requested when opening a new thread, please post the case number to avoid duplicate work.
I configured a Proxy to run 20 Jobs in Parallel.
just to clarify: did you set 20 concurrent tasks on the Nutanix proxy?
4 Disks in parallel.
sounds strange... 4 VMs would be the default setting (4 tasks where I assume that you set it to 20), but disks sounds wrong (except 1 VM = 1 disk in your scenario)

Best regards,
Hannes

But it seems to be strange that this isn't found before - I can reproduce this on 5 Clusters...

Does the QA did not detect this issue before? Does no other customers has this problem??? Seems to be strange that this problem is happend for so long time undetected...

Hello,
and welcome to the forums.

Hotfixes are provided via support, yes. The alternative is waiting until the fix makes it into a release (no timeline available).

Best regards,
Hannes

AHV Backup Proxy creates one task per every VM processed by the job not by VM disk like for vSphere, The default value is set to 4.

@Hindawi - Yes, default is 4 - but as I wrote, we configured it for 20 - Also with required resources. Veeam Support has confirmed a BUG in the Proxy and released a Patch-Update 3.1.42 last week.

Hello all,

I am having a similar issue where I configured the AHV proxy for 32 concurrent tasks but it is still processing 4 vms concurrently.
The version of the AHV proxy is 3.1.36.
Is there any patch available for this bug or will there be a fix in a new release?

Thank you
