Start VM's from next job

Post by Josh-VCAP »

Hello, In my environment I have a bunch of jobs chained in a loop, I keep the jobs separate as this is for a multi-tenant environment.

If i have 6 processing slots available from my proxy servers I find that 5 of them are wasted while finishing the last VM of a job prior to moving onto the next job. Is there a way to make the next job start early and start using those available proxy processing slots? SQL servers seem to be a big culprit here holding things up.

Hi

please use job chaining only if you have some dependancies between them. For example backup to disk and then backup to tape.

The solution for you is: Start all jobs at same time. Veeam Load balancer takes care of the rest.

Yes, the solution is to stop using job chaining. In this case all slots will be utilized all the time.
