Ross, here is how we do it.

In the masters bp.conf file:

SERVER=master-neta
SERVER=master-netb
SERVER=master-netc

One entry for each NIC in the box.

For the clients on NETA - SERVER=master-neta
For the clients on NETB - SERVER=master-netb
For the clients on NETC - SERVER=master-netc

Works like a charm for us.

Don't forget to bounce netbackup after the bp.conf changes.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Multiple net interfaces...


Hi, folks,

I have a NetBackup server with two interfaces, one on each of my primary
networks.

I want to set things up so that clients on one of the networks access
the server using that network interface, and clients on the other
network use the other interface.

I can see how (using 'REQUIRED_INTERFACE' in bp.conf) I can direct ALL
traffic to one interface on the server, but that's not what I want.

>From what I can see, setting 'SERVER' in the clients' bp.conf files
won't do the trick either.

Any thoughts? Setting up network or host routes on the clients would do
the trick but the NT clients apparantly don't understand redirects as
they should and end up passing all of the traffic through the router,
not what we want!

Cheers,

Ross
