How to evaluate source bottleneck?

Post by mikeely »

My boss insists that our backup repo is somehow to blame but every backup run shows "Source" for the bottleneck. Rather than convince him of this I'd rather just work to improve throughput in general. Here's output from a recent incremental run of our largest job - do these speeds seem reasonable and if not where should I start looking? We've got everything on LACP-bonded 10-gig NICs, and our ESX vmstore is a Tintri.

Uh, image link here because phpbb doesn't like it for some reason:

No, frankly speaking these speeds are quite slow for a largest job with many VMs. I saw about same speeds 10 years ago on my laptop lab with virtual ESXi hosts running in VMware Workstation :D

You should do a webex with our support and see if they can spot any misconfigurations on your end.

The 100MB/s maybe indicate that you read from 1GBe?
