NFS Mounts Intermittently Slow on Solaris 2.7

I'm utilizing Veritas NetBackup NFS feature on a Sun E450
running Solaris 2.7 to backup our remote servers. I'm
also running the latest recommend Sun OS patches.

I'm noticing at times that the NFS mounts are slow and are
not taking advantage of the networks band width. I've
been working with our network group and they don't see
any problems with the network, as usual.

When I'm experiencing the slow NFS mount to a particular
server, I can mount the same partition on another server
in the area and the data flies by with no slowness.

The problem seems directed mostly to one particular server
at times, but I see the backup times to other servers taking
extremely long some days, and running fast the other days.

Any ideas or suggestions is appreciated.

Thanks,

Mark
