First off, NBU 6.0MP5,
HP-UX.
I have a master/media server with an
STK L180 library and an Scalar24 library. The L180 is used for “normal” backups.
The Scalar24 (which has only 2 LTO-3 drives) was added as part of a special
project to migrate several clients to a different location. Basically backup
those clients, send the tapes to new location and restore the
data.
In an effort to increase the data
through-put, I added 2 additional GB network connections. So now I have the
following interfaces:
Jac01.x.x.x Gigabit (original
interface for non migrating clients)
Jac01v1.x.x.x
Gigabit
Jac01v2.x.x.x
Gigabit
How can I best configure NBU to have
as much data as possible stream to the 2 LTO-3 drives in order to speed up the
backups? I know I could create an STU on each interface and set the policies to
use them, but that would seem to just make the jobs wait as other jobs tie up
the drives. What about using the “specified network interface” for the clients?
If I do that, how can I verify that the data is actually moving on the new
interfaces instead of the original?
Help?
Thank You,
Layne
