You are very close. You can make everything happen over the _adm network, you
just have to do it initially that way in the jukebox setup.
When you build your jukebox start "jbconfig -s srv_adm"; when it asks jukebox
prefix, give stn_adm:
On a storage node, the hostname is a prefix to the jukebox name.
Enter the hostname to use as a prefix? [stb] STN_ADM
Your device/jukebox for the storage node should be: rd=STN_ADM:/dev/rmt/Xcbn
The "rd=Server" is your communication path.
This will run your mount/umount commands over _adm network now. However, I did
that previously and I seem to recall occasional problems (but I also had 1
master, 3 storage nodes)....YMMV.
PS. "( Ithink the only way is to change server hostname from srv to srv_adm
âEUR¦ )" -- Don't do it, bad idea.

The client config for STN_ADM is a different item. If you configure the client
as STN_ADM and treat it normally ("I defined its âEURoeserver network
interfaceâEUR? as srv_adm and âEURoestorage nodesâEUR? as stn_adm"), it will
run it's backups over the _adm network, but the client config has nothing to do
with the jukebox communications.

We setup our Storage Nodes the way you have it now with STN_ADM as the client
setup (STN_ADM has a Server Network Interface of Srv_adm and a Storage Node of
Stn_adm) but we don't have a problem w/ the minimal mount/umount traffic on the
production network.....it is miniscule compared to the level of traffic
occurring on the _adm network. Again, YMMV. Thanks.

Subject: [Networker] NetWorker configuration on a secondary network
IâEUR(tm)ve built a simple networker environment, based on Sun Solaris and W2K
systems ( no cluster, thanks âEUR¦ ), using server, clients and storage nodes
definitions. The main customer requirement was to use only ( or mainly, at
its best ) a management network, instead of the production one.
Let me indicate the terminology, concerning production and management
network names:
Srv: server on the production network, and hostname
Srv_adm: server on the management network
Stn: storage node on the production network
Stn_adm: storage node on the management network
Cln_adm: client on the management network
IâEUR(tm)ve installed NetWorker v7.2 server on a Solaris box, and the srv client
was installed automatically.
IâEUR(tm)ve defined the Jukebox, with the server srv and the storage node stn
as storage nodes.
I had to configure stn ( also as client ) on the production network
because IâEUR(tm)ve seen that, even if I tried to configure stn_adm, on the
storage node the nsrmmd daemons are always started with the âEURoe-s srvâEUR?
option and never with âEURoe-s srv_admâEUR? option.
So I think that in this case mount/umount commands run on the production
network. What about media database informations??
Any client is always defined as cln_adm ( and cln is defined as its
alias ) ;I defined its âEURoeserver network interfaceâEUR? as srv_adm and
âEURoestorage
nodesâEUR? as stn_adm ( or srv_adm instead of nsrserverhost if the client has
to use the networker server as its storage node ).
IâEUR(tm)ve added srv_adm as an alias of srv, and stn_adm as an alias of stn.
I only doubt about storage node configuration in the Jukebox and the fact
that the nsrmmd daemons seem to contact the server hostname and, for what
I know, there is no way to let them speak with srv_adm.
>From your experience, is this a correct configuration and is possible to
customize the nsrmmd processes in order to let them speak with srv_adm ( I
think the only way is to change server hostname from srv to srv_adm âEUR¦ )??
Thanks a lot for your suggestions !!!!
