Factors that limit job scheduling
When many requests are submitted to NetBackup simultaneously, NetBackup increases its use of memory. The number of requests may eventually affect the overall performance of the system. This type of performance degradation is associated with the way a given operating system handles memory requests. It may affect the functioning of all applications that currently run on the system, not limited to NetBackup.
Note:
In the NetBackup Administration Console, the Activity Monitor may not update if there are thousands of jobs to view. In this case, you may need to change the memory setting by means of the NetBackup Java command jnbSA with the -mx option. See the "INITIAL_MEMORY, MAX_MEMORY" subsection in the NetBackup Administrator's Guide, Volume I. Note that this situation does not affect NetBackup's ability to continue running jobs.
