I am a little behind on reading messages from the list, but I do
not see where anyone else has responded to this.  We run our master
and one of our media servers on multiple subnets.  We even use 
Sun Trunking for our master on two seperate subnets for better 
throughput and it works great.

Just make sure the "hostname" of the master is the first server
listed in all of the bp.conf files and then the other hostnames
for any media servers.  Qualification to that last statement:
The name must match the name the media server will use to talk
to the master server (or wherever the vol db is for that 
media server).  This is only an issue if you have private networks
that the master cannot route to.

Good Luck,

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Multi-homed media server?



Master Server = Sun E450
Media Server = Sun E4500
NBU 3.4_3

I've been thinking about this so I thought I'd run it by the mailing list.
Would NBU support a multi-homed media server?  I need to distribute my
network based backups across different subnets because I'm running out of
bandwidth and I'm not sure how NBU would work if I did this.  I know it's
closely coupled with the hostname of the master and media server and since
each interface would have a different alias I'm not sure if NBU would get
confused.  Has anyone done this?  Thanks.
