Folks,
 
My clients won't have multiple NICS only the Media Server because its receiving 
input from multiple subnets so the use of REQUIRED_INTERFACE on the client 
won't help.  I basically want to send certain clients to certain 
interfaces/addresses on the Media Server.  Doesn't the Master tell the client 
where to send it's backup data via the policy information i.e. storage 
unit/device host?
 
In a normal backup scenario nbjm starts the backup using bpcd to start bpbrm on 
the Media Server.  The bpbrm process in turn starts bptm which then uses bpcd 
to start bpbkar on the client.  Its the interaction between bpbkar on the 
client and bptm on the Media Server that I am trying to control but in my case 
the Media Server is a different host from the Master.
 
Regards,

Folks,

 

Is anyone out there using Media Servers with multiple NICs on separate 
networks?  I am trying to understand how to force clients to use specific 
interfaces on the Media Server when sending backup data or receiving restore 
data.  Do I need to create multiple storage unit and Media Server entries to be 
able to target the clients through the policy?  Or am I on the wrong track 
altogether?

 

NBU 6.5 Solaris 10 Master and Media Servers - Media Servers have 4 NICs and 
clients are on multiple subnets.

 

Regards,

 

Paul Esson
