We are restricted from trunking to a certain degree; time, money, other
products on boxes configured expecting individual NICs. Trunking is the answer
in the perfect world, but I am not currently in that world.
By the way, Veritas support has told me that configuring NB clients to talk to
a particular IP/NIC on a Netbackup server, where multiple are available, is not
supported in Netbackup. No plans either.
Thanks,
Scott
