Re: [Veritas-bu] Trunking in solaris...
I'm backing up dozens of clients over 2 GigE interfaces per media server. I've got a V880, with 2x GigaSwift GigE cards, and several V240s with the built in bge quad cards. On my V880 Master, I have the following: hostname: master Netbackup is installed with "master" specified for the hostname. /etc/nodename = master interface ce0 = 192.168.1.1 = master-ce0 interface ce1 = 192.168.1.3 = master-ce1 /etc/hostname.ce0 192.168.1.1 netmask + broadcast + group multiIP up addif 192.168.1.2 deprecated -failover netmask + broadcast + up /etc/hostname.ce1 192.168.1.3 netmask + broadcast + group multiIP up addif 192.168.1.4 deprecated -failover netmask + broadcast + up On my V240s, I have the following: hostname: media-A Netbackup is installed with "media-A" specified for the hostname. /etc/nodename = media_A interface bge0 = 192.168.1.5 = media-A-bge0 interface bge1 = 192.168.1.7 = media-A-bge1 /etc/hostname.bge0 192.168.1.5 netmask + broadcast + group multiIP up addif 192.168.1.6 deprecated -failover netmask + broadcast + up /etc/hostname.bge1 192.168.1.7 netmask + broadcast + group multiIP up addif 192.168.1.8 deprecated -failover netmask + broadcast + up and so on, with media-B using the next 4 IPs, etc. the bp.conf of each client has the following: SERVER= master-ce0 SERVER= master-ce1 SERVER= media-A-bge0 SERVER= media-A-bge1 SERVER= media-B-bge0 SERVER= media-B-bge1 SERVER= media-C-bge0 SERVER= media-C-bge1 The bp.conf needs the actual interface names of the servers listed, not the "netbackup" names.. for each server, there is a DNS alias for the netbackup hostname, ie, master, media-A, media-B, etc, that points to the ce0 or bge0 interface for the respective server. I'm thinking about giving both public IPs the same "name" in a DNS hunt pool to see if that works...when time allows. each server can backup multiple clients and they will loadbalance almost 50:50 over the interfaces, and in the case of a link failure, the failed link will "failover"as a virtual interface on the remaining working interface...so you can move a server to a different network switch, or anything at all with no outage, by moving the physical connections one at a time...if you notice above, there are IPs ending in even and odd numbers..for two interfaces, you will need 4 IPs as you need the virtual IPs (in BLUE above) internal to the system to monitor the link states.these IPs will never be seen from outside of the respective boxes.we just use this even digit "public" and odd digit "internal/virtual" paradigm as it's easy to keep trackthe "internal" IPs do not need to be in DNS or host files or anything at all, however, IIRC, they must be in the same subnet as the public interfacesI THINK.I never had any reason to try it any other way, so I've left it as is. if I can help anymore, let me know.

Re: [Veritas-bu] Trunking in solaris...
Sorta true, Darren. However, since in an NBU env, the master initiates the backup, and theclient replies to the interface from which the backup was initiated, youget very good load balancing. Ie, the master server starts the backup via interface-A, the client seesthe backup request from interface-A, and then starts transmitting backupdata backup to interface-A. I'm getting almost exactly 50:50 loadbalancing of incoming data on apair of GigE NICs. You will need to have the "interface name" of both NICs in the clients'bp.conf files. However, I'm troubleshooting an issue with hot DB backups that I thinkmight be related to ambiguity between the interface names and thehostname.although I think I may be able to resolve it with a DNShunt pool.If that doesn't work, then I'll probably have to go withEtherChannel/Suntrunking for the master, though I'll probably leave themedia servers as they are.

Re: [Veritas-bu] Trunking in solaris...
By the way, we've tried to test SunTrunk using a 4-processors V480 with 8GB RAM, but without success. The CPU consumption easily reached to 100% but with the network bandwidth lower than 1, 1.2 Gbps. SUN support was simply patetic (and worse, very expensive). So, the bottom line: it's not any hardware configuration that actually supports trunking.

This allows for a bit of outbound load sharing, but isn't really appropriate for load balancing incoming data (as you might want on a netbackup server). It does provide you with failover though, and you can balance the incoming traffic manually. If all you need is failover, then it may be sufficient. SunTrunking is an extra application that you can run on Solaris. It only supports certain hardware in certain combinations. It's a cost purchase for versions prior to Solaris 10. Solaris 10 can use SunTrunking as well, but also allows for link aggregation of any networking hardware that uses gld3 drivers. This is built into Solaris and doesn't require extra software. IP Mulitpathing (IPMP) and Link Aggregation configuration details should be in the administrators guide for the version of Solaris you have (if supported). -- Darren Dunham [EMAIL PROTECTED] Senior Technical Consultant TAOShttp://www.taos.com/ Got some Dr Pepper?

Re: [Veritas-bu] Trunking in solaris...
Sun has a software package to do this. It's "Sun Trunking 1.3", and you can see it at http://www.sun.com/products/networking/ethernet/suntrunking ... It is free for Solaris 10 (SPARC & x86), and costs $995 for Solaris 8 & 9. -- Mike Varney / HRI "Hampus Lind" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent by: [EMAIL PROTECTED] 12/01/2006 05:18 AM To cc Subject [Veritas-bu] Trunking in solaris...
