Hi Experts,
Need your inputs here. I have a master server Nbu 7.6 in windows, appliance 5230 as media server and mixture of clients. All in same vlan. Now we have a bunch of other servers which is there in other network(vlan) and configured these servers(all have dedicated bkp nic) in backup infra. But the throughput we are getting is 10-12MB/s. So to overcome this, we are planing to have a dedicated network for backup and have a diretc connection from appliance to the switch where all these clients are connected. so the data will transfer directly from these servers to appliance which will improve the backup speed.
Plan is below
Clients are in different vlan than the current backup infra.
We have 4 10G Ethernet ports in appliance which is not using at present. Going to assign two ports from this and bond it then assign same vlan ip as clients have and directly connect to the switch where clients are connected.
But my doubt is, if we are doing in this way. do i need to assigne and configure my backup server also with one more nic with same vlan(clients vlan) ? Or it will communicate the media server with same existing vlan when these clients backedup ? Nbu ports are already open with current backup server vlan IP and client vlan IPs
