Re: [Veritas-bu] Media Server with multiple NICS

Greetings Paul,
OK, I guess I mis-interpreted your question,
apoligies.
My initial thoughts are that you could
set up a different DNS name for each interface on the media server.
Then create a different storage unit
that refers to each Media server name, and have that storage unit
refer to the interface associated with
the name. Then modify the backup policy to use the policy storage
unit
that refers to the interface you want
to use. Just a thought..
In our environment we have multiple
media servers and we direct backups to what ever media server
we want for a particular policy. My
guess, ( and it is only a guess) is that you could do a similar thing
using
one media server with multiple NIC's.
I guess you could open a case with Symantec.
Other people may have actual experince
with this.

Folks,
My clients won't have multiple NICS only the Media Server because its receiving
input from multiple subnets so the use of REQUIRED_INTERFACE on the client
won't help. I basically want to send certain clients to certain interfaces/addresses
on the Media Server. Doesn't the Master tell the client where to
send it's backup data via the policy information i.e. storage unit/device
host?
In a normal backup scenario nbjm starts the backup using bpcd to start
bpbrm on the Media Server. The bpbrm process in turn starts bptm
which then uses bpcd to start bpbkar on the client. Its the interaction
between bpbkar on the client and bptm on the Media Server that I am trying
to control but in my case the Media Server is a different host from the
Master.
Regards,
Paul Esson

Subject: [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
