Carl,
It is v6.5 on Solaris 10 and I guess I
have some experimentation ahead!

Paul,
Please
clarify what you mean by "the application" I assume Netbackup. Good
question. Hadn't thought of that.
You
may have to make Netbackup think of it as a completely separate media server,
and device host all the way
through.
That way the it knows what path (NIC) to take when running a backup. I
need to think about this some more.
What
version of Netbackup are you using?

Carl,
I had thought along similar lines but will the application
not expect to see a device host in the netbackup configuration with the same
name as is referenced in the Media Server setting of the storage unit?

Greetings Paul,
OK, I guess I mis-interpreted your
question, apoligies.
My initial thoughts are that you could set up a different DNS name for each
interface on the media server.
Then create a different storage unit that refers to each Media server name, and
have that storage unit
refer to the interface associated with the name. Then modify the backup
policy to use the policy storage unit
that refers to the interface you want to use. Just a thought..
In our environment we have multiple media servers and we direct backups to what
ever media server
we want for a particular policy. My guess, ( and it is only a
guess) is that you could do a similar thing using
one media server with multiple NIC's.
I guess you could open a case with Symantec.
Other people may have actual experince with this.
Regasrd

Re: [Veritas-bu] Media Server with multiple
NICS

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,
Paul Esson

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
