VSP HDS array and replicaiton with veeam

[jeremyh8]

I am hoping someone in the community may be using a VSP from hitachi and doing remote replication. I can do backups all day fine locally but as soon as i try to perform replication after the initial run things go south. My VSP gets the cpu up around 80% and the response times on the replication datastores climbs to over 80ms for write/read. If anyone has seen this or has had a similar situation please let me know what you did to resolve. I will be opening a support ticket but i figured another users experience would also be helpful.

I'm assuming you are talking about Veeam replication of VMs, right? Are you doing this locally, or across a reasonably fast pipe? I'd try forcing network mode on the target proxy assuming that it's using hotadd now. My guess is that will make a big difference.

ds3 and yes veeam replication. i am using hot add. our pipe is very slow.
