Increasing Capacity

You can also improve performance by increasing the capacity of the DPM server through hardware upgrades:

  • Adding disks to the storage pool and reallocating the replicas across the storage pool can help reduce disk queue length.

  • Using striped volumes can increase disk throughput to deal with disk bottlenecks.

  • Adding memory is a relatively inexpensive upgrade that can result in a noticeable improvement in performance if the server frequently experiences low available memory.

  • Adding more processors or upgrading to faster processors can reduce CPU issues.

Also, consider your data protection requirements: you might need additional DPM servers to balance the workload.
