Parallelism settings

Deployment options: Netezza Performance Server for Cloud Pak for Data System

Performance might be tuned in the NetWorker environment, depending on the client/server configurations and usage. Parallelism settings on the client and server might be set to optimize backup performance (they do not affect restore/recovery performance).

To affect parallelism, adjust the settings of the server and client parallelism parameters:

Server parallelism
Configuration > Server_Name > File > Properties > Parallelism

This parameter controls how many total streams from all its clients a NetWorker server allows to be simultaneously active for the purposes of backup.
Client parallelism
Configuration > Server_Name > Clients > Client_Name > File > Properties > Globals (1 of 2) > Parallelism

This parameter controls how many streams a NetWorker client can simultaneously send in one or more backup operations. The setting for each client is set individually and might vary according to the particular environment of the client.
Media Pool parallelism
Media > Media Pools > Media_Pool_Name > File > Properties > Configuration > Max parallelism

This parameter controls how many total streams that are writing to a media pool can be simultaneously active for the purposes of backup.
