NetBackup™ Web UI VMware Administrator's Guide

To change the resource limits for VMware resource types

1. On the left, click Workloads > VMware.
2. On the top right, select VMware settings > Resource limits.

   For each resource, the default value is 0 (No limit).

3. Select the VMware resource type you want to change and then Edit.

   Note:

   The Snapshot resource limit is different from the other resource types. It sets a limit for the number of simultaneous snapshot-only operations within a vCenter domain, such as create snapshot and delete snapshot. This limit applies only during the snapshot creation and snapshot deletion phases of a backup. It does not control the number of simultaneous backup jobs. This Snapshot limit can be useful for controlling the effect that multiple snapshot operations have on the vCenter server. Add a specific vCenter to override the global snapshot setting for that vCenter.

4. Choose from the following options.

   Set a global limit for a VMware resource type.	Locate the Global setting and select the Limits value that you want to apply. This value limits the number of simultaneous backups that are performed for the resource type.
   Set a limit for a specific VMware resource.	Click Add. From the list, select the resource. Select the Limits value that you want to apply. This value limits the number of simultaneous backups that are performed for the selected resource.

5. Click Save.

   Limits indicates the number of simultaneous backups that can be performed for the resource type. This value is the global limit. The Override value indicates how many resources have any limits that are different from the global limit.

To reset the resource limits for all VMware resources

• Click Reset default values to remove all the overrides and set all global VMware resource limits to their default values.
