This may not make any sense, but I'll try my best to explain what's going on. I am trying to get a full-speed backup using a 10 GB network just to exchange databases using Veritas Backup exec to tape. I don't need the whole Windows system state since I have VM backups. I can get 10 GB of speed backing up all VMs to tape without any issues. To be able to back up exchange, only Verias installs the agent into Windows. So now it's going to be between Vertias and VM Windows. Here is my setup.
VMAN- Physical server using windows 2019 and Veritas software connected with MSL 3040 tape drive using 10gb network with vlan2.
Vmhost1- Vmware esix using 10gb network using vlan2 the VM server is Windows 2019 with exchange server using vlan1.
They are on the same layer 3 switch with IP routing enabled and setup ip route 10.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 vlan 1 and iproute 192.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 vlan2.
For some reason, I am getting just a speed of 170 mbits/sec between the VMAN (vlan2) and VM server (vlan1). Then I created a new VM using VLAN 2, and I got 7 GB/sec from vman (vlan2), which is what I was looking for.
Backing up the VM is not a problem since I am getting the correct speed; it is when I need just one agent in Windows to do an exchange of datastores for easy restore. If I have to restore an email using a VM, I have to create a new VM, restore it, and then open Exchange, which will take too much resources and time. I’ve used Vertias Exchange Restore just to restore per email without having to restore the whole server along with the exchange database. This is the reason why I would like to get this speed fixed somehow between vlan1 and vlan2. I was hoping someone else may have an idea for me to look for. I thought about just adding nic adapter to the VM server to have both vlan1 and vlan2. I kind of don't want to do that for security reasons.
