Backup Exec RALUS Add-on [13.0.5204.1]
What is it?: Backup Exec Remote Agent for Linux and UNIX servers (RALUS). What is required: ReadyNAS x86 system (NVX,Pro,2100,3100,3200,4200,Pro2/4/6), Symantec Backup Exec with RALUS license. (NV...
Tried clearing cache, seems to be an issue with my IE8 as works ok on Firefox.
I installed the NAS Monitor & PHP plugin to see why it had become slower and slower, turned out to be the ReadyNAS vault service keeping the cpu on the NAS at 100% all the time, now disabled.
I did some file transfer tests with a Windows File Server using the task manager to monitor LAN traffic in % as a rough guide as IO Meter not installed on it.
Copying large files with CIFS the graph sustains around 45%-50% on gigabit Lan with Jumbo Frames. This is the same as it was before the firmware upgrade.
Running Backup Exec, backing up the same files, it stays around 25%-30%. When I first installed the RALUS agent, it used to be around 45% same as CIFS.
The NAS Monitor reports the service "beremote" using 2.1mb Ram and NAS CPU at 24% usage when backup exec is running.
I've tried disabling firewall, various settings in backup exec but no difference. Looking back in the Backup Exec Logs, the data transfer rate from Windows Server is the same more or less as it was before, around 2,300mb/s. The Nas is now averaging around 1800mb/s-2,000mb/s - cosiderable slower doing a 170gig backup than it was before the firmware upgrade.
I know the NAS is capable of good performance, it's really frustrating why the RALUS agent should not push the unit to it's capability. I guess a factory default is the next thing to try, otherwise hopefully an updated RALUS in the future.
