Setting maximum jobs per media server
Cloud Scale Technology manages maximum number of jobs that runs on the media server. The default value of the job is 10000. It is recommended to change this value as per the backup environment. The setting can be added to the primary server's bp.conf file. To change the default value, the following parameter can be added or updated in the primary server bp.conf file using bpsetconfig CLI command as MAX_JOBS_PER_K8SCLUSTER_MEDIA_SERVER = <value>.
Refer to the NetBackup Commands Reference Guide.
To tune the value refer to the benchmarking figures from the section
Note:
The value is not be applicable to any external media servers that are added in the Cloud Scale Technology environment. Also, the configuration is only applicable for backup and duplication jobs. Other types of jobs do not consider this limit and runs on the available media servers even if those are at capacity due to this limit.
Additionally, third-party monitoring tools like Azure insights, Prometheus, etc. can be used to monitor the usage of media server pods. If those pods are underutilized which means that the media server is capable to run number of jobs, thus the value for this setting can be increased. Similarly, if the pods are overutilized, the value for this setting can be decreased.
