summary The POSIX connector gives XCP the capability to access any Linux-mounted file system, such as NFSv4, XFS, and Veritas.

Run multiple XCP jobs on the same XCP host

Beginning with XCP 1.9.2, you can run multiple XCP jobs or commands on a single XCP host, provided that the host has sufficient resources for each job. When you run a command that supports multiple jobs, XCP uses minimal host memory to complete the job, which creates the capacity to run additional jobs on the same host configuration.

Minimum system requirements

For each XCP job, you should allow up to 64GB of host memory and eight cores for medium to large migrations.

Note
 Running multiple XCP jobs on the same host is not supported for SMB data migration.

Logging

By default, each XCP job is logged in a separate log file that is unique to the job ID. This logging mechanism works well when running multiple jobs on the same individual host. NetApp does not recommend changing the xcpLogConfig.Json file to use a single xcp.log file to log multiple XCP jobs running in parallel on the same host.

Supported commands

Running multiple XCP jobs on the same host is supported with the following XCP commands:

  • scan

  • copy

  • resume

  • verify

  • isync

  • chmod

  • chown

  • delete

Unsupported commands

Running multiple XCP jobs on the same host is not supported with the sync command.
