Hi Boris, If you're using SSO you should really be on version 6.0 MP4 anything earlier will always have issues. Not saying that 6.0 MP4 is perfect but support are way more helpful when you have issues. 6.0 was built to support SSO where 5.1 and earlier it was an after thought. Cheers,

We've had more problems in the old days with people "forgetting" to hardcode, than we've had in recent years leaving everything auto. However, on the recommendation to only hardcode the client..absolutely NOT. The standard behaviour (for one side hardcoded, and the other Auto) as outlined by t

Re: [Veritas-bu] clients in hosts files and forcing NICs to FULL

By locking the speeds, you prevent the cards from negotiating. This is both good and bad. Despite the "standard" of autoneg, it doesn't always work. If you can use it, you should. If you can't because clients do not correctly negotiate a connection speed, try locking the client to 100-full (or

If you're a NetBackup admin, you will know that Auto is not a good interface setting, generally. When you have several media servers and thousands of clients, the hosts file gets to be a pain. I prefer DNS so that when someone changes the IP of a server, I don't have to go make changes on all my h

Re: [Veritas-bu] clients in hosts files and forcing NICs to FULL

We use DNS for all name resolution. It is too much hassle to manage hosts files. With the newer NICS we use auto for both the switch and NIC. All our ports are now Gig E. When we had 100M we set them to 100 full no auto. = Carl Stehman IT Distributed Services Team
