I'm curious as to how everyone has multiple NIC's combined/defined on
their backup servers.
We are trying to do this, and unfortunately, the way we've done it on
other (non-networker) systems, can't be used by networker.
We have Broadcomm GE cards, and use 'teaming' to get 2 Gbps link
running.
However, according to esg66044:
The 'teaming' function of the Broadcom NetXtreme gigabit Ethernet card
should not be used in a NetWorker backup environment. The teaming
function allows the use of one IP address for two network cards for load
balancing and increasing throughput.
I would just like to know how others 'team' or 'trunk' their multiple
NIC's.
TIA

I use this same setup 99% of the time anywhere I consult... Create your
backup server with multiple nics as well one on Public Highway one on
Alternate Highway (for backup).. Create Serial interface on backup
highway only. Define the client name with the NIC that is on
ALThighway... viola zoom-zoom...
Your backup server?
Do you have multiple NICs (6?) trunked together to give you an aggregate
of say 6GB over the ALThighway...? This works and is an awesome setup.

Subject: [Networker] Backup via second NIC on client?
I'm trying to get my clients to back up on their second NIC. However,
they seem to respond with DNS on their first NIC and thus the backup
server won't recognize them.
Primary NIC: 10.234.1.220, cfc.win.int.unavco.org (via DNS)
Secondary NIC: 10.255.1.220 cfc-backup.unavco.org (via hosts file)
Networker server: 10.255.1.5 networker.unavco.org
I can't see any way to get the client to use the secondary NIC/backup
name. Both the client & server can see each other (on the 10.255
network), but when I go to back it up, or request backup on client I get
this:
39078:winworkr: SYSTEM error: client `cfc.win.int.unavco.org' is not
properly configured on the NetWorker Server
or `cfc.win.int.unavco.org'(if not a virtual host) is not in the aliases
list for client `cfc-backup.unavco.org'
The client does think it's named cfc.win.int.unavco.org.
Should I put an alias in the hosts file like this:
10.255.1.220 cfc-backup.unavco.org cfc.win.int
I've seen reference to a client attribute of server network interface,
but can't find any documentation on it.
So how do I properly get the client software to connect to the backup
server on the secondary NIC or backup name, which should be the same
thing.
Thanks,
