[Networker] Sharing a storage node on two subnets
2007-06-01 14:19:54
Two or three months ago, we put a second physical network drop from a
secure subnet to our NetWorker 7.2.1 server running Solaris 9 and we
put an old storage node (also Solaris 9) on the same subnet. The
storage node's old IP address was changed to reflect its placement on
the new subnet, but the hostname is the same.
This allows me to back up confidential data on without it crossing
our firewall and this works pretty well.
We recently created a pair of tagged VLAN connections; one on our
NetWorker server and the other on the storage node. The VLAN
connections present the storage node and NetWorker server as if it
appears on yet another secure subnet. This is intended to allow us to
back up sensitive data to the same storage node, but it is not working.
I can back up a client on this second subnet to my NetWorker server
fine, but when I try to back it up to the storage node, it mounts a
tape (if necessary) and the tape status shows "ready for writing,
idle" and it will occasionally switch to "ready for writing, done"
for a minute or two before going back to the idle status. No data
gets written to the tape.
On the storage node, I have a single entry for the NetWorker server
with all the hosts names the server goes by associated with one IP
address. From the storage node, I can load, unload, and query the
media database via "nsrjb -s whatever" fine.
On the server's storage node list, I put the fully qualified hostname
for the storage node that has the base IP address associated with it.
If I replace that with the hostname for the storage node's VLAN, NSR
refuses to mount a tape and the log shows warnings about not being
able to mount a tape.
What am I doing wrong?
