Hello,
Can
anyone suggest the best way for backing up NetApps via Veritas Netbackup (via
NDMP) on a private network.
Scenario:
Four
Filers: Each with QFE card with the IP address available. On Board Card on each
of the filers is unused as for now.
M1800
Stacker connected to one of the filers with SDLT320 drives.
Master
Media Server is Sun Server.
I was
curiuos to know if the backups can happen over a private network using onboard
card.
Should
I connect another QFE on the Filer which has the tape library connected to it
and assign three private IP addresses (viz. 10.x.x.x, 172.x.x.x or
192.168.x.x)
And
respectively assign, onboard cards on the other three filers an similar private
ip address . As far as cabling is concerned, will a cross-cable connected
from each onboard card to the qfe on the filer which has the M1800 library
connected a good way to ensure eliminating network traffic generated via NDMP
backup ?
Is
there any other way, in which I can achieve the same ?
Regards
Rahul
