Staging area growing or filling up and deduplication not finishing. Jobs may 'hang' waiting for media.
The Soft Stream Limit is set to 8 and the Deduplication Activity Cap is set to 4, so the Deduplication will be interrupted once the number of backups exceed 4 active sessions.
WORKAROUND
Set the Deduplication Activity Cap to 9. This will allow for the backups to run as normal, because the Soft Stream Limit is set to 8 the deduplication operations will not be interrupted because it is unable to reach the Deduplicaton Activity Cap limit of 9.
/smartdisk config --update --volume --dedupe-cap 9
For more information see NetVault SmartDisk Administration Guide. (Using the config command options)
Note:
If the backups are consistently running 8 streams and leaving deduplication with only 1 stream there may not be enough time to get the data deduplicated completely. To manage this adjust backup and deduplication schedules to allow deduplication to run during the least busiest backup window.
