LAN free (including SAN backup) configurations with Backup Exec
This blog is to outline some of the possible options to avoid backing up over the Corporate LAN in Backup Exec (BE). It does not discuss the specifics of configuration it just outlines the various options that might be available to show which environments might be more suitable to one option than another.
Backup Data through SAN Switch
Hello, I have problem with Fiber channel backup. My condition is at the following: 1. MSL 4048 with four tapedrive 2. Two San switch that is used four redundancy (Servers are connected to either lan switches and san switches) 3. NBU 8.0 with the required licenses for SAN client and SAN shared Storage option 4. 15 ESXi hosts with lots of machines on it. 5. about 30 virtual machines and 5 physical hosts are in back up process. 6. The current connection type is lan. 7. I have one master and 4 media servers. Now I would like to change the type of connection to Fiber. I dont know if there is a config that has to be made in NBU or not. I have read most of the articles in the Veritas site but I couldn't get the solution. Thanks,
4x FC from Media server to brocade 300 to i6000 tape robot.
I have a Media server with 4x8GB FC connections. I am trying to get as much B/W to the robot as I can. I'm not concerned with failover of SAN paths, I purely want 4x8GB of B/W to make sure I'm not starving the robot. Can Netbackup do this? Is there a special license I need for this? In terms of the San would I make 36 zones and configure 1:1 in each zone (4 cdonnections on the media server to 9 tape drives so 36). Within netbackup would it see these and realize, it's got 4x paths to the 9 drives or does extra config inside netbackup need to take place. Would this involve linux multipathing? Here are my WWNs I'm really lost atm.
