how do we calculate number of catalyst required for replication

I think the number of Catalysts is subjective. I would try to divide them out so that not too many are going to only one. For the primary StoreOnce -- do you have multiple jobs going to the same repo or do you have several repos in the primary HPE storage? It seems that it is a one-to-one ratio from what I am reading when setting up the Catalyst Copy job as you select the Source Repo and Destination Repo to copy between. So if you have say 10 Catalyst Repos on the primary side (70 jobs per or so) then you can create 10 Catalyst Copy jobs to move data over to either the same number on the other side or more/less. Hope this helps.
I got this by reading Jorge's blog here - https://jorgedelacruz.uk/2020/09/14/hpe-how-to-configure-hpe-storeonce-catalyst-copy-in-veeam-backup-replication-v10/ Since I don't use HPE Catalyst daily but know the storage.
