For the separate backup network we simply add entries to the hosts file
on the backup master. The entries added there typically just have "b"
appended to the real host name. The appended to hostname is then used
as the "client" instead of the real hostname.
Example: Real hostname, exchange1, becomes backup hostname exchange1b.
The exchange1b is the client name used in the policy.
In point of fact if you have files searched before name servers you can
even use the real host name in the local host files.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Separate NIC
I have been asked to test a separate backup network for a single host in
our environment that is taking about 8-9 hours to backup nightly
(Differentials). It's a Win2k3 Fileserver, FYI.
The question I have regards this, from NBU Win Admin Guide II, page 120:
REQUIRED_NETWORK
The REQUIRED_NETWORKentry specifies the required route for backup
traffic in an
environment where the network traffic is segregated.
For example, an environment may contain a production network at
145.21.14.0 and a
backup network at 192.132.28.0. To indicate that NetBackup should use
only the
backup network, add the following entry:
REQUIRED_NETWORK = 192.132.28.0
What I currently have is this:
A second card in and up on my Master/Media server with an IP of
192.168.1.9
A second card in and up on my client with an IP of 192.168.1.10
I have modified the name of the client in the BA&R utility, via File ->
NetBackup Client Utility.
With this setup, can I backup one server out of band from the regular
network without having to appropriate another Media server? If so,
where does the REQUIRED_NETWORK entry go, Master/Media, client, both?
If both, won't all other backups fail?
Thanks,
Jason
