DPM 2012 R2 on windows 2012 R2 server
Three fileservers
FS1 400GB
FS2 2TB
FS3 2TB
We joined the servers to the DPM on Saturday evening. It took around 7 hours to replicate. On Sunday evening everything was reporting ok, and no errors had been reported. A handful of users had been logging in and we could see some trivial file activity on the FS (word files etc)
We even had a couple of restore points, and just for fun we ran a consistency check. We had a similar set-up about three years ago, and CC used to take about an hour.
(CC was run on all three servers at the same time)
FS1 took 25 mins to complete and transferred 500Mb of data and reported 89 items fixed out of 91593
FS2 took 4 hours to complete and transferred 7.5Gb of data and reported 2259 items fixed out of 2205564
FS3 took 5 hours to complete and transferred 7.2GB of data and reported 7520 items fixed out of 2315612
I ran a CC this morning on FS1 and it was even worse. 190 items and 600MB of data
My understanding is that while you might expect some activity the number and files and amount of data is completely at odds with doing a CC on a system that is reporting no errors and has been online for less than 24 hours. While there has been some activity it is nowhere near the number of files thayt have been "fixed".
