NetApp NDMP File Server

You can improve the performance of data movement operation for NDMP and NRS clients using the following guidelines:

• Ensure that the MediaAgent managing NDMP operations does not reside on the CommServe.

• Ensure that multiple data streams are used for data transfer to the MediaAgent.

• If the tape is attached to a NAS client, the indexing operation is completed on the MediaAgent. Ensure that the MediaAgent has sufficient memory available for indexing.

• Use the syssat command to review the CPU consumption.

• When the backup is running, use the following command to fetch information about MediaAgent performance:

  netstat -a
  

  The send_q information will determine whether network queues are becoming full.
