Instructions

Performance and scalability options and best practices are outlined in the Performance and Scalability section of the NetWorker VMware Integration Guide, available at the NetWorker page.

VM backups

1. On the NetWorker server, create an input file (example: vmperf)
2. Populate the input file with the following details: 
. type: save job; vm_name: VM_NAME
sh vm_name; job output; start time; end time; job log file
p
NOTE: Replace VM_NAME with the name of the impacted VM. You can get this information from mminfo -kot output.

3. Using the job query and the input file we can collect details about the job start and end times, and backup session log information. 
[root@nwserver ~]# jobquery -i vmperf
Current query set
                    end time: 1654567313;
                job log file: \
/nsr/logs/policy/Gold/VMware/353252-winclient01-2022-6-6-19-1-53.log;
                  job output: Backup completed successfully.;
                  start time: 1654567245;
                     vm_name: winclient01;
end time: 1654480913;
                job log file: \
/nsr/logs/policy/Gold/VMware/353027-winclient01-2022-6-5-19-1-53.log;
                  job output: Backup completed successfully.;
                  start time: 1654480845;

                     vm_name: winclient01;
end time: 1654394509;
                job log file: \
/nsr/logs/policy/Gold/VMware/352801-winclient01-2022-6-4-19-1-47.log;
                  job output: Backup completed successfully.;
                  start time: 1654394446;
                     vm_name: winclient01;
 
4. The times outputted are in UNIX time, but this can be converted with:  
date -d@UNIX_TIME
  
[root@nwserver ~]# date -d@1654394446
Sat Jun  4 19:00:46 PDT 2022
[root@nwserver ~]# date -d@1654394509
Sat Jun  4 19:01:49 PDT 2022
5. For backups that have a long backup run review the job log file for information about the throughput: 
[root@nwserver ~]# cat /nsr/logs/policy/Gold/VMware/352801-winclient01-2022-6-4-19-1-47.log | grep "DiskStats"
2022-06-05T02:01:48Z INFO:   [@(#) Build number: 95] DiskStats: Disk Label    |  Mode  | Bytes Moved |  Read Rate   |  Write Rate  |     Overhead  |   VDDK Wait   |   Total Time  | VM MORef  | VM Name

NOTE: On days where the backup takes longer than usual the Total Write Speed is lower than the average seen across other backup sessions. 

6. The policy logs for the specific VM can be reviewed by running: 
cat /nsr/policy/POLICY_NAME/WORKFLOW_NAME/*VM_NAME*.log | grep DiskStats
[root@nwserver ~]# cat /nsr/logs/policy/Gold/VMware/*winclient01*.log | grep "DiskStats"

NOTE: The policy logs follow the jobsdb retention (default: 72 hours). After the jobsdb window has passed the associated policy logs and jobquery entries are removed; however, the vProxy appliance retains VM backup session logs locally under /opt/emc/vproxy/runtime/logs/recycle/vbackupd/


Considerations:

  • Backup transport mode: Using the above methods we can see which transport method (HotAdd/NBD) was used. HotAdd is the default and preferred transport method. NBD (Network Block Device) is expected to be slower as it goes over the ESXi management network. This can cause congestion on the VMware network. In order to use HotAdd a vProxy appliance should be deployed on an ESXi host with access to the VM datastores where VMs reside. Multiple vProxies may be deployed to accommodate this. See the NetWorker VMware Integration Guide for additional information about HotAdd/NBD.
  • Backup level: If backups are performing as level full, consider scheduling incremental. All VM backups are performed to Data Domain which creates virtual synthetic fulls. This means that all incremental backups are treated as a new full on the DD system, supporting "forever incremental". There is no need to schedule level full backups unless required for compliance; this should be done sparingly when possible. 
If either (or both) of the above points are in use, then backup performance is impacted negatively.


VM Restores

For restores that is in progress, the throughput can be observed in the Recover tab "Rate" column:

DellEmc Networker Recover menu

If the restore job has completed, the restore log can be reviewed from the following locations:

  • NetWorker Management Console: Open the saved recover session. The log window details about the throughput on the disks. The recover logs are subject to jobsdb retention (default 72 hours) if this time has passed, the recover session log is removed from NetWorker server but will still exist on vProxy appliance.

  • NetWorker server:

    • Linux: /nsr/logs/recover/RecoverName.log

    • Windows: C:\Program Files\EMC NetWorker\nsr\logs\recover\RecoverName.log

    • The recover logs are subject to jobsdb retention (default 72 hours) if this time has passed, the recover session log will be removed from NetWorker server but will still exist on vProxy appliance.

  • vProxy Appliance: completed/failed VM recover session logs can be found on the vProxy appliance under /opt/emc/vproxy/runtime/logs/recycle/vrecoverd/date/recover_session_id.log

All the above logs contain similar output regarding throughput of the recover session, per disk:

Troubleshooting Performance Throughput from vProxy

The ddpconnchk tool can be used to test network connectivity and throughput from the vProxy to the DD device.

Collecting ddpconnchk
1. Download the ddpconnchk utility from: https://central.dell.com/solutions/Networker-Tools
2. The ddpconnchk.zip contains multiple versions of the ddpconnchk utility. Use the ddpconnchk utility that matches or closest aligns with the DD OS version of the Data Domain device.
3. Extract the zipped package and copy the ddpconnchk_linux_x86_64.tar to the vProxy's /home/admin directory.

Using ddpconnchk:
1. Log in to the vProxy ddpconnchk_linux_x86_64.tar was copied to. Log in over SSH using the admin account.
2. Change to root user: sudo su -
3. Extract the .tar package: tar xvf /home/admin/ddpconnchk_linux_x86_64.tar
4. Set the permissions of ddpconnchk: chmod 775 ddpconnchk
5. An example test would a write dump from the vProxy to a ddboost device:
./ddpconnchk -s DATADOMAIN_HOSTNAME -u ddboost_username -l storage_unit_name -T writeimage -i 1G -n 1
  
vproxy01:~ # ls -l | grep ddpconnchk

Data Domain has multiple NICs, and vProxy is using 1 GB management NIC

There are multiple NICs on the Data Domain system. The management NIC is typically a 1GB interface, the Data Domain may also have 10GB NICs for data movement.

1. Identify the IP addresses of the 1GB NIC and the 10GB NIC(s). The Data Domain administrator needs to confirm this.
2. Confirm which IP address resolves to the Data Domain/device name used by the NetWorker server and storage node:
nslookup DataDomain_hostname
 
3. If the NetWorker server, storage node (if used), and/or vProxy appliance are resolving to the 1GB IP address, create a host file entry on the systems resolving the 1GB IP address to resolve the Data Domain hostname to the 10GB IP address.
a. If changes are made to vProxy appliance reload daemons:
systemctl reload-daemon
systemctl restart <service>
services: vrecoverd, vbackupd, vflrd
 
4. Restart backup/restore and confirm if throughput has increased.
 
Data Domain Performance:
1. Log in to the Data Domain as sysadmin.
2. Use net iperf to see what transfer bandwidth is between Data Domain and vProxy:
net iperf client VPROXY_IP_ADDRESS port 9090 interval 2 
sysadmin@ddve01# net iperf client 192.168.9.131 port 9090 interval 2
------------------------------------------------------------
Client connecting to 192.168.9.131, TCP port 9090
TCP window size:  256 KByte (default)
------------------------------------------------------------

write failed: Connection reset by peer
[ ID] Interval       Transfer     Bandwidth
[  3]  0.0- 0.0 sec   239 KBytes  1.48 Gbits/sec
Depending on the bandwidth, expectations cannot be exactly determined, even if output shows 1.48 Gbit/sec, backup/restore may run in MB/s. Check the "local" IP and confirm if Management NIC or a 10GB data link is being used. 

3. Use net iperf to see what transfer bandwidth is between Data Domain and vCenter:
net iperf client VCENTER_IP_ADDRESS port 443 interval 2 
sysadmin@ddve01# net iperf client 192.168.9.111 port 443 interval 2
------------------------------------------------------------
Client connecting to 192.168.9.111, TCP port 443

write failed: Broken pipe
[ ID] Interval       Transfer     Bandwidth
[  3]  0.0- 0.0 sec   239 KBytes   147 Mbits/sec
Depending on the bandwidth, expectations cannot be exactly determined, even if output shows 2.27 Gbit/sec, backup/restore may run in MB/s. Check the "local" IP and confirm if Management NIC or a 10GB data link is being used.  If data is routing out the wrong interface, the DD admin must review the Data Domain configuration. A Data Domain support ticket can also be opened for NetWorker and Data Domain collaboration.

Additional Information

VM backups point 5, expanded:

We can gather the disk stats for all of the vbackupd sessions using the following syntax on the vProxy:  
grep -rnw "DiskStats: Total\|DiskStats: Disk Label" /opt/emc/vproxy/runtime/logs/recycle/vbackupd/

Example: 

vproxy01:~ # grep -rnw "DiskStats" /opt/emc/vproxy/runtime/logs/recycle/vbackupd/
...
