Best practices: NetBackup for Nutanix AHV
Refer to the NetBackup for Nutanix AHV Administrator's Guide for more details about NetBackup for Nutanix AHV.
To avoid the load on the Nutanix AHV production environment, set resource limit options for AHV backups:
The backup job resource limits can be set at the AHV cluster, per storage container and per AHV host.
The snapshot job resource limit can be set at, AHV cluster level.
Set the global level resource throttling to apply across clusters, containers, and AHV host level. Consider the load on AHV to decide on these restrictions.
Override the global level throttling values if you need to alter those values specific to given cluster or container or AHV host level.
Media server load balancing is dependent on the storage server used. It is supported only for the Media Server Deduplication Pool and Cloud storage.
For the Media server Load Balancing feature, discovery would be done only by one of the available media servers even though the backup jobs are distributed across multiple media servers.
For Nutanix AHV backups using the Media server Load Balancing option, it is required that all media servers assigned to a particular storage are of the same version.
