View box and job concurrency in SpanFS clusters
It is recommended to configure one View box per cluster. For illustration purposes, we consider a 4-node SpanFS cluster.
When the number of concurrent jobs is less than 96, each job can use the maximum allowed memory, ensuring throughput-optimal performance for each job. Once the number of concurrent jobs exceeds 96, each job will consume less than the maximum memory allowed to accommodate the increased load.
Each node can handle up to 480 concurrent jobs, allowing a 4-node cluster to support up to 1,920 concurrent NetBackup jobs. If additional nodes are added to the cluster, job concurrency scales linearly with the number of nodes.
