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

Carl,
I had thought along similar lines but will
the application not expect to see a device host in the netbackup configuration
with the same name as is referenced in the Media Server setting of the storage
unit?

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.

Re: [Veritas-bu] Media Server with multiple

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

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
