Yes, appears so, I'd like to know
what you find.

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

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
