[Veritas-bu] Any gotchas with 10 GB Ethernet?

[Larry]

I don't know if this has changed since 5.1, but at 5.1 and earlier you would need to use /usr/openv/netbackup/NET_BUFFER_SZ (yes, SZ) and put a value greater than 64KB in there.  It really doesn't matter what you use, unless you're going over a LFN, 1048576 will work in most cases.  It's not like making it too big is going to hurt anything.  And, contrary to an old rumor, it is not nor has it ever been necessary to set this value to the same thing on client and server.

Most people won't see any affect at all by doing this (unless you're running really old NBU and doing duplication) until they get to about 4x trunked Gb or higher.
