Which proxy is the bottleneck?

Post by TitaniumCoder477 »

Replication: VMware to VMware
Source Linux proxy: Direct storage access (NFS)
Destination Linux proxy: Virtual appliance

Job says bottleneck is "Proxy" but which one? When I check CPU/RAM/IO, I see very little consumption. How do I identify which proxy is the bottleneck so at least I can dig into it more closely?

Ummm... thanks for a KB I already read? I am posting here for clarification because it says, "Proxy — backup proxy component responsible for processing VM data," but both proxies are involved unless the keyword is "processing" and would refer to source side proxy?

...as the keyword 'Target' refers to the 'target disk writer component (backup storage or replica datastore)'.
