In this article, I'll describe the method of how to setup backup LAN, hope helps.
NBU environment info:
NetBackup Role | Hostname | NetBackup Name | IP Address(NIC1) | |
Master | i108-eng161 | i108-eng161 | 10.200.161.108 | |
Client | i109-eng161 | i109-eng161 | 10.200.161.109 |
Add a new network card(NIC2) on master and client to build backup LAN.
NBU environment info(after add NIC2):
NetBackup Role | Hostname | NetBackup Name | IP Address(NIC1) | IP Address(NIC2) |
Master | i108-eng161 | i108-eng161 | 10.200.161.108 | 192.168.1.108 |
Client | i109-eng161 | i109-eng161 | 10.200.161.109 | 192.168.1.109 |
Master/Client hosts file:
192.168.1.108 masterbackup
192.168.1.109 clientbackup
NOTES: Assume that master and client can ping each with netbackup name or IP.
Just add new network card, and configure IP Address, and add hostname resolution for new IP.
No any changes to NetBackup side, then try to run the following command to see what happened.
c:\Program Files\Veritas\NetBackup\bin\admincmd>bptestbpcd -host clientbackup
<16>bptestbpcd main: Function ConnectToBPCD(clientbackup) failed: 46
<16>bptestbpcd main: Request from host masterbackup (192.168.1.108) to host clie
ntbackup (192.168.1.109) is not allowed access.
Host masterbackup (192.168.1.108) is not an authorized server for host i109-eng161.cdimglab.net.
server not allowed access
Q: How to build backup LAN?
- On NetBackup Master side, add SERVER entry to include “masterbackup”. Host Properties->Master Servers->Servers->Additional Servers.
- On NetBackup Client side, add SERVER entry to include “masterbackup”.
c:\Program Files\Veritas\NetBackup\bin\admincmd>bptestbpcd -host clientbackup
