dedicated interfaces for duplication in netbackup
I want to configure a separate interfaces for duplication on media servers.
My query is : is it possible to send duplication data over dedicated interfaces to Target media servers?
If yes, how I can configure in netbackup console?
Please suggest.
Any thought or opinion will be highly appreciated.
Thanks

Hi,
there is no point to configure a dedidcated replication interface in NBU GUI.
In NetBackup_deduplication guide youll find a chapter "Configuring a separate network path for MSDP
duplication and replication"in short:
- configure dedicated interfaces on both media server with a different IP Subnet
-ensure that Nameservices will start with local files (which is default on most OS)
- add on /etc/hosts of MediaserverA the MediaserverB with the IP of replication Interface
- same for MediaserverB
This will "fake" the nameresolution and makes the Mediaserver to use the dedicated interface for all kinds of communications.

Hi,
vtas_chasis right. This solution is not NBU related. You make the mediaserver using your dedicatetd network everytime if they initiate a connection (using name) This happens for all kind of communinications:
ex. ping mediaserverB; ssh mediaserverB etc.
to reach this you make the /etc/hosts entry of the other mediaserver only.
Of course works this with all deduplications between this mediaservers in both direction, of course it work with backup acting one mediaserver as client and the other as mediaserver
It is (in my opinion) a bloody solution. Dedicated Replicationinterface configured by netbackup would be bether. But it works.
