Problem
The NetBackup Administrator's Guide, Volume 1 indicates that the network bandwidth used by backups cannot be limited for DataTools-SQL-BackTrack, MS-SQL-Server, and Oracle policy types. However, it doesn't appear to work with FlashBackup and other additional policy types.
Error Message
The nbjm debug log shows the following message for the jobs that ignore the bandwidth limits that are configured.
[jobid=XXX parentid=YYY] 1 [BackupJob::startThrottle] (02503528) throttling not needed for this job(BackupJob.cpp:2953)
Cause
Network bandwidth throttling is only implemented for specific policy types.
Solution
Bandwidth throttling is not supported for policy types AFS, DB2, FlashBackup, FlashBackup-Windows, Lotus-Notes, MS-SharePoint, MS-SQL-Server, NCR-Teradata, NDMP, SAP, Vault,VMware,Hyper-V and Enterprise-Vault.
Any Bandwidth limits configured within the Host Properties or by specifying the LIMIT_BANDWIDTH option in the bp.conf file will not apply to these types of backups.
Applies To
