Problem

After upgrade to NetBackup 8.1/8.1.1/8.1.2 MSDP workloads are very slow.

Error Message

N/A

Cause

Starting with NetBackup 8.1 there is a fingerprint hash conversion from MD5 to SHA2 for to improve NetBackup security. The overhead of this conversion process slows down MSDP workloads until completion.

Solution

  1. Apply FP conversion EEB bundle to all NetBackup MSDP servers.
  2. To obtain the EEBs, please visit the Veritas Downloads Center and browse to the version you are running.
  3. Customers who have not yet completed upgrading their NetBackup MSDP Media servers to 8.1 or above are recommended to apply the 'Pre-upgrade Conversion' EEBs and convert their systems before the upgrade to 8.1.x.

'Pre-upgrade' EEBs are linked in article. You will need to log on Download Center to be able to download.
