Hmm, I just read esg66044, and its created in 2004, and updated 2010 !
Well, first off that a hell of a long time, to claim broadcom has driver
issues !
Besides we have run broadcom teaming for years on w2k3 servers without
issues... We do have one now, on 2008R2, but if its related to teaming or
not, is still a mystery. We are using it elsewhere, on 2008R2 and it works
fine... but one storage node is down to 7mega bit thoughput on a 1 gigabit
network, naturally we are NOT impressed ;)
honestly, i think you should ignore esg66044, and test in your own
enviroment, make your conclusions what works for you. Same is true with
autonegotiate or not.. If auto gives you the speed you need, and using
fixed settings doesnt improve it, then by all means use auto, it will make
your days easier, since most gear is set at auto pr default :)
testing testing reading reading testing testing more reading followed by
more testing seems to be a typical day / week / month for backup admins :)
until you figure it all out, but by then, most of your clients are 1 or 2
service packs behind, your core router and switches have been given a new
firmware, and you are using another brand of NIC and you can go at it
again :)
Sorry I am rambling, and not really helping, sorry!

Subject: Re: [Networker] Backup via second NIC on client?
Sent by: EMC NetWorker discussion <NETWORKER AT LISTSERV.TEMPLE DOT EDU>
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,
