Re: [Veritas-bu] Dedicated B/U vlan setup questions

We use HP-UX master for our 6.5.x install and backup many Windows machines (along with HP-UX and Linux).

For backup VLAN we just have a separate NIC in both master and clients. We modify hosts file on the master to add the NIC of the clients. We typically specify the client names as clientb and use that clientb name in the policy instead of client. On the clients we specify the backup NIC of the master as the actual hostname of the master. This works for most things.

MS-SQL backups require use of the actual database names so that causes a few wrinkles for those backups but for everything else it works swimmingly.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Dedicated B/U vlan setup questions

Our environment, HP-UX 11-31 with a SureStore 20/700 tape library, one master / media server running NetBackup 6.5.2 backing up mainly HP servers with a few Sun and Windows boxes thrown in. One NBU 6.5.2 SSO media server running on windows.

The majority of our backups are via direct connected bcv filesystems and very few backups over the network. We are looking at expanding our NetBackup environment to include more windows servers and need to look into setting up a dedicated backup vlan. We looked at this back in the NBU 3.1 days and ran into issues and dropped it. Time to look into it again, any advice / things to look out for / white papers / pointers / or anything else that anyone can share or point me to?

Thanks in advance…
