There is a paremeter you can put in
the bp.conf file that is supposed to force the data through a NIC
I think it is called REQUIRED_INTERFACE
= <ip address or dns name> I have always found that
netbackup like to use DNS for all name
resolution., so I would not use the ip address.
This is documented for UNIX systems,
I don't know if windows has a similar option. I am not sure
if it works with master initiated backups.
Probably what you would need to do is assign different host name
to your alternate interface and change
the client name in the policy on the master to refer to the
DNS name you have given for that NIC.
In that case you probably do not need the REQUIRED_INTERFACE
entry in the bp,.conf file.
Hopefully this is not too confusing.
I have not personally tried it, just a suggestion..

| [Veritas-bu] Media Server with multiple
NICS |

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
