Re: [Networker] Need help in configuring backup LAN

Hwan, Here's my private vlan setup, for what its worth:

Networker server has two NICs, SERVER (hme0 - primary) and SERVER_CR (hme1 - 
secondary).  The clients also have two NICs, CLIENT (hme0 - primary) and 
CLIENT_CR (hme1 - secondary). When installing the client software I configure 
both SERVER and SERVER_CR as known servers.  When setting up the client via the 
NWADMIN GUI you name the client with its real name, i.e CLIENTand you enter 
SERVER_CR in the Server Network Interface section.  You won't see this unless 
you select View - Details. You may also want to enter the SERVER_CR and its 
I.P. address in your clients /etc/hosts file and the CLIENT_CR entry in your 
servers /etc/hosts file. BTY, you can configure the server list by editing the 
/etc/init.d/networker file on your clients.

Hope this helps, 

Edward Ortiz.

Hello

Anyone out there follow this doc in configuring a private backup LAN?

http://www.legato.com/resources/bulletins/302.html 

This was written in '97 so I guess the info must be pretty old.

1. I am using 6.1.1. Following the manual in configuring a new client
(B_new) by entering the old client id (old hostname being B), it seems the
client id changes whenever I press "apply"

2. How could I start up in the new client if I would like the client
hostname to remain as B, ie B_new is entered in /etc/hostname.hme1 but the
server boots up as B as hostname. Is this possible.

Please share if you manage to configure a private backup LAN.

Many thanks...

Regards
Hwan Meng
