I am in the never ending process of trying to get deduplication running at a decent speed, and found an article that states I can tune my VMWare agent settings to increase read/write buffers. It does not, however, state what recommended values are per GB of RAM and CPU core. Does anyone know how to calculate what values I should change these to if I have 2 sockets, 12 cores total, and 64GB of RAM on my media server?
Registry Keys and Location:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Symantec\Backup Exec For Windows\Backup Exec\Engine\VMware Agent
"Enable Buffered Reads"=dword:00000001
"Number of Read Buffers"=dword:00000004
"Size of Read Buffers"=dword:00000400
"Enable Buffered Writes"=dword:00000001
"Number of Write Buffers"=dword:00000004
"Size of Write Buffers"=dword:00000400
"Write Thread Priority"=dword:00000000
"Read Thread Priority"=dword:00000000
