Slow replication

Post by P51F »

Hi,
We have some problems with our VMx replication with Veeam B&R 9.5.
It is very slow, we replicate 16VMs over a 1Gbs link to a NAS.
You can read the detail of a VM replication below :

Code: Select all

I think there is a problem with CBT that cause this slowness.
So I reset the CBT on this VM (using this https://www.vmadmin.co.uk/resources/36- ... ing-off-vm), no success.
Can you help me ? Did I Forget something ?
Thank you

Hi Pierre, it also fails to use hotadd on both sides, so I'd let our engineers to review the logs for the reason.

Yes, contacting technical support would be the most effective step in this case.
