Understand bottleneck

Post by matteu »

Hello,

Is there a guide to understand better bottleneck ? (I already read the FAQ but it's not enough detailed).
I have some replication job and I have 100% on the source and 98% on the target WAN and I would like to understand if this is "normal" or I can improve it.
It's only for a small VM (50Go) and I have 30Go for wan cache on source and target.
I have only 2 VM for the source wan accelerator (small both) and target wan is only used for them.

Hello,

The "bottleneck" percent rate defines the amount of time within each component is busy during the job. The current statistics means that source data mover reads data and target WAN processes data throughout the whole job. It does not depend on VM size. I don't think that you should decide on the necessity for optimizations just being based on "bottleneck" statistics, the "bottleneck" always exists in every pipeline. On the other hand, if the job does not fit your backup window and you want to understand why, then this statistics will be extremely useful for troubleshooting process.

Thanks!

Backup jobs have a different processing pipeline than backup copies so numbers shouldn't align between them.
