Changing the number of vpfsd instances
A universal share uses one vpfsd instance by default. In most cases, one instance is adequate. Increasing the number of vpfsd instances might improve universal share performance, although it also requires more CPU and memory. You can increase the number of vpfsd instances from 1 to up to 16 and distribute the shares cross all the vpfsd instances.
To change the number of vpfsd instances for universal shares
- Stop NetBackup on the media server.
systemctl stop netbackup
Or
/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/goodies/netbackup stop
- Modify the number of vpfsd instances.
Change the numOfInstance value in the
vpfsd_config.jsonfile. The value must be an integer between 1 and 16. For example:# grep numOfInstance /msdp/vol1/etc/puredisk/vpfsd_config.json "numOfInstance": 2,
BYO (build-your-own): <storage path>/etc/puredisk/vpfsd_config.json
NetBackup Appliance and NetBackup Flex Scale: /msdp/data/dp1/pdvol/etc/puredisk/vpfsd_config.json
NetBackup Flex: /mnt/msdp/vol0/etc/puredisk/vpfsd_config.json
- Start NetBackup on the media server.
systemctl start netbackup
Or
/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/goodies/netbackup start
