Creating The NIC Team
NOTE: It is recommended to not use the native teaming interface in Windows 2012 Server. The
teaming algorithm is optimized for outbound, not inbound, traffic. It offers poor performance with a
backup workload, even with more network ports in the team.
To create NIC teaming:
1. Go to Start → Search → Broadcom Advanced Control Suite.
NOTE: When using Broadcom Advanced Control Suite, only select the Broadcom network
cards.
2. In the Broadcom Advanced Control Suite, select Teams → Go to Team View.
3. In the Hosts list on the left side, right-click on the host name of the DL1000 appliance and select
Create Team.
The Broadcom Teaming Wizard window is displayed.
4. Click Next.
5. Enter a name for the team and click Next.
6. Select the Team Type and click Next.
7. Select an adapter you want to be part of the team, and click Add.
8. Repeat these steps for all other adapters that are a part of the team.
9. When all adapters are selected for the team, click Next.
10. Select a standby NIC if you want a NIC that can be used as the default, if the team fails.
11. Select whether to configure LiveLink, and then click Next.
12. Select Skip Manage VLAN and click Next.
13. Select Commit changes to system and click Finish.
14. Click Yes when warned that the network connection is interrupted.
NOTE: Building of the NIC team may take approximately five minutes.
Adjusting Concurrent Streams
By default, AppAssure is configured to allow three concurrent streams to the appliance. It is
recommended that the number of streams is equal to one more than the number of machines (agents)
you are backing up. For example, if you are backing up six agents, the
Maximum Concurrent Transfers
must be set to seven.
To change the number of concurrent streams:
1. Select the Configuration tab and then click Settings.
2. Select change in Transfer Queue.
3. Change Maximum Concurrent Transfers to a number that is at least one more than the number of
clients you are backing up.
Installing Agents On Clients
Each client that is backed up by the AppAssure appliance must have the AppAssure agent installed. The
AppAssure Core console enables you to deploy agents to machines. Deploying agents to machines
requires pre-configuring settings to select a single type of agent to push to clients. This method works
