Backup issues in HPVM3.5

[Rikki hinn Ogurlegi]

I have 2 physical HP Integrity machines running 4 guests each.
When attempting to back up those 8 guests using DataProtector I run into some issues. First ultrium drives on the SAN seem to be an issue. I can present a drive to only one guest at a time on each host making direct to tape backups a bit hard.

Then I started looking into doing backups over the ethernet but then I notice that the host itself seems to be limited by 1gb/s speeds to it's guests. Why is there a speed limit in place to begin with ?
Is there any way for me to get more speed from the host machine to it's guests ?

Thanks in advance

are you using avio_lan or normal lan.

I'm using emulated LAN

This is a typical setup of a guest network.
