Setting the Network Bandwidth and Network Agents for Multiple Subclients Using Subclient Policy

For agents that support subclient policies, network agents can be established for creating multiple subclients using an existing subclient policy.

Use the following steps to set the network bandwidth and network agents while creating multiple subclients:

1. From the CommCell Browser, expand Policies.

2. Right-click Subclient Policies, and then click New Subclient Policy.

3. In the Name box, enter a name for the subclient policy.

4. Click the iDataAgent list and then select Windows File System.

5. Click once in the Storage Policy column cell and then select a storage policy for the default subclient.

6. Click the Association tab, and then select the backup set on the client that you want to associate with this subclient policy.

7. Click the General tab, select the default subclient row, and then click Edit.

   The Create New Subclient dialog box appears.

8. On the Content tab, enter the contents for the subclient by browsing to them or by entering their path. If browsing, select a file or folder as content and then click Add.

9. Click Close when you are done adding content.

10. On the Performance tab, perform the following steps:

    1. In the Network Agents box, enter the number of network agents that must be used to perform backup operations on the subclient.

    2. Select the Throttle Network Bandwidth (MB/HR) check box and enter the throughput limit. The Commvault software throttles the transfer on a per-network-agent basis.

11. Click OK.

The default subclient is automatically created in all the clients with which the subclient policy is associated.
