Hi
Current our client is running in 2 network and 1 network is for backup which the agent is using
But soon we will be removing the backup network
When i do a manual backup i see that it pointing to the backup network as it should
How do i change both the primary server and the agent to use another network after i remove the backup network
Hi BobbyXu
The connection address is determined by the local name resolution - whether this be local files, DNS or something else.
All you need to do is to update your name resolution system to use the new (or different) IP address for the configured client name. Or you could alter the backup policy (and client) to use the name associated with the interface that will remain.
If this is done using files, then you may need to update both the primary server as well as the client.
Cheers
On the primary server I have use nslookup to the client hostname and it resolve to the main network client ip
On the media server veritas appliance 5240 I have also did nslookup and it also resolve to main network client ip
On client with the agent I have also did a nslookup and it resolve to it own ip On main network
I have also run the bpclntcmd to clean host cache on the client and primary server but when I run a manual backup it still pointing to the backup network ip of the client which I have already disable
A better way to check how a hostname resolves to an IP address is to use the command (on Linux only) "getent hosts <client>". This uses the local name resolution method to obtain the IP address. Using nslookup will go to DNS which may bypass any local file entries.
As StefanosM mentions on the client there may be an setting to override the default interface (REQUIRED_INTERFACE) - see this article for more details https://www.veritas.com/support/en_US/article.100002210
check the host properties of the backup systems for network settings:
