VM Image level restore slow

Hi,

I have not the solution but i'm interesting by your post because i have same situation :VM Image Level Restore -> very very very slow.

Avamar 6 / vSphere 5

We just went to 6.1.0-402 and the glr no longer goes to the windows box to extract. Now it does it on the fly and its fast.

But you need to totally redo the proxies because it went from RHEL to SUSE.

To delete old 6.0 proxies and replace with 6.1

1. Delete groups and datastores from old proxies
2. Delete proxy
3. Shutdown old proxy
4. Deploy new proxy from OVA
5. Put in ip address, DNS servers and etc from old proxy to replace
6. Boot up new proxy
7. Put in registration info and DNS servers

If hostname not entered correctly or needs to be renamed on the new 6.1 proxies continue from here.

1. Log into proxy
2. 1-      Log into the proxy via ssh using putty.  Username root, password
3. 2-      Run this script . /opt/vmware/share/vami/vami_set_hostname proxy_name (where proxy_name is the name you want to give to the proxy.
4. 3-      Then vi the file /opt/vmware/share/vami/vami_set_hostname and look for the variable:  HOSTNAME="localhost.localdom"
5. 4-      Change the "localhost.localdom" to the name you gave the proxy in step 2
6. 5-      Reboot the proxy
7. Reboot proxy
8. Confirm registration in Avamar Admistrator
9. Add data store and add proxy to groups to protect.

Hope this helps someone
