On some networks SmartDisk default transfer rate can be slow. It is possible under these circumstance to increase the transfer rate by increasing the block size.
Slow backup speeds. See resolution for instructions on how to do this.
Open command line on the SmartDisk server and cd to …/smartdisk/foundation/bin
1/ Issue command following command
On Linux system:
./smartdisk config –show
On windows system:
smartdisk config –show
2/ Check the output for the block sizes and port/port-range of WebDAV and NDMP interfaces that should look similar to the default setup below:
[Interface:Data]
Block Size = 32, KB
Port = 37454-38453
Preferred Contact Address =
Type = NDMP
[Interface:Data]
Type = WebDAV
Port = 37453
Preferred Contact Address =
Credentials = :049da16bab7a2bf65fe9932e2d3e516a
Block Size = 32768, B
3/ if the block size is as in the two example above is set to 32KB modify the block size to 128kb as seen below.
Note check that the port of the webdav is the same and the port range of the ndmp webdav are the same as in the example below before issuing the commands. If they are different modify supplied command as required.
On Linux system:
./smartdisk config --update --webdav 37453 --block-size 131072
./smartdisk config --update --ndmp --port "37454-38453" --block-size 131072
On windows system:
smartdisk config --update --webdav 37453 --block-size 131072
smartdisk config --update --ndmp --port "37454-38453" --block-size 131072
