Network configurations for adding a partial data network
A secondary data network can also be added with individual components, either only with media server or storage server or primary server. For example, you can add a secondary data network with only media server IPs on data network interface eth7. The secondary data network can be added for all possible combinations between media, storage, and primary server.
To add a new partial data network
- Navigate to Settings > Network > Data Network.
- Click on the Actions button (vertical ellipsis) on the right side of Data-Network. Select Add Data Network.
- Provide the required details.
You can choose to have IPv4 or IPv6 addresses in your data network. But mixed mode of IPv4 and IPv6 configuration is not supported.
The NetBackup primary server, media server, and the storage server names can contain a maximum of 64 characters, including the domain name.
Interface
Choose eth1 or eth5 or eth7.
Routing settings
Enter the subnet mask and gateway for the network. This field is auto populated for eth1.
VLAN ID
Enter the VLAN ID. This field is auto populated for eth1. It is optional for other interfaces.
Media servers
Enter the FQDN and IP address for each media server as per the input method selected.
Storage servers
Enter the FQDN and IP addresses for each storage server as per the input method selected.
Primary server
Enter the FQDN and IP address of primary server.
Note:
If you deploy a cluster with only media servers, you do not have to enter these details.
For example, the following image shows a secondary data network being added with only media server IPs.
Note:
After a secondary data network is added with partial components, you can perform modify data network and delete data network operations.
Note:
For adding a partial secondary network for media and storage server, the input for IPs for all the nodes is required. There is no option available to add a single media server IP or a single storage server IP to one of the nodes.
- Click Add Data Network. The process for adding the network is initiated.
- View the Recent Activity panel in the top navigation bar for the status of the task. You can monitor the status of the operation by clicking View details on the taskbar.
- Once the data network is added successfully, the newly added data network appears under Data Network.
You can add multiple secondary data networks over a device, VLAN, or bond. All the data networks are displayed in the GUI under Data Network in the left pane. The first secondary data network on the device is named as and the subsequent secondary data networks are named as , and so on.
