Netbackup For Vmware - Tapeout - SAN Client
HI , I've an implementaion using a 5230 appliance , appliance have 3 dual HBAs installed in slots 4/5/6 .
As there's no 10G Ethernet in customer environment , i need to utilize Netbackup For Vmware , Tapeout and SAN Client .
What i'm thinking of is to do the following ..
- enable "2 Target Fibre Channel connection" option , in order to set port 1 on both slots 5,6 in target mode , use it for SAN Client .
- use port 2 in slot 5 for Tape out
- use port 2 in slot 6 for "netbackup for vmware"
- use port1 in slot4 for Tapeout .
- use port 2 in slot4 for "netbackup for vmware"
- Master server have 2 zones configured for 2 paths to tape library , i will add slot5-port2 to one zone and slot4-port1 to the second zone .
- Each Client configured as SAN client is already configured with 2 paths to 2 zones to the dual-controller SAN , i will add WWN for port11-slot5 in one zone and port1-slot6 in the second zone .
- For vmware intiator ports , will add port2-slot4 with one zone to the Datastore and port2-slot6 to the second zone .
- No additional configuration is needed for Tapeout , Netbackup for Vmware .
- For San Client will Enable SAn Client usage via /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/bpclntcmd -sanclient 1 and restart services .
Appreciate your thoughts and comments ...
That is correct. Any port that is an initiator can be used for VADP SAN Transport, as long as you have it zoned properly. That's always a pre-requisite to it actually working :smileyhappy:
