I am running 1.36.3 on both director and storage deamon and diff.
versions on 150 clients. Recently I started spooling to disk first then
to tape with around 100 concurrent connections for director and storage
deamons. Now the backups seems to take time Rate seems to be around
700KB/s before spooling and concurrent connections it was around
8000KB/s. I know too many clients are backing at the same time is that
the reason?
I can't follow you here, but yes, having too many clients working
concurrently can reduce the overall performance. You've got to find your
personal optimal number of concurrent jobs depending on overall network
throughput, server power, storage and spool speed - I don't think that
it's possible to tell you what the perfect setup is for you.
Also when all the clients start backing up at the same time
I can't log onto the console since there is no free connections left is
there any way I can atleast reserve one connection for the console?
Two possible reasons:
Not enough connections allowed - change the numer in the config.
Server load too high - wait, or, better, have less clients run
simultaneously. Remember that each job means a fork and a process, takes
memory, cpu time, and loads the catalog database. That's all stuff you
need to work on the console, too.
Thx,
Arunav.
