RESILIENT_NETWORK option for NetBackup master servers and clients

The RESILIENT_NETWORK option specifies the computers that should use a resilient connection for backups and restores.

Table: RESILIENT_NETWORK information

Usage

Description

Where to use

On NetBackup master servers or clients.

How to use

Use the nbgetconfig and the nbsetconfig commands to view, add, or change the option.

For information about these commands, see the NetBackup Commands Reference Guide.

Use any of the following formats:

RESILIENT_NETWORK = hostname ON|OFF

RESILIENT_NETWORK = ip_address ON|OFF

RESILIENT_NETWORK = network address/network_mask ON|OFF

You can mix IPv4 addresses and ranges with IPv6 addresses and subnets.

By default, RESILIENT_NETWORK is not present in the configuration file.

Examples

The following are examples of valid forms for this entry:

RESILIENT_NETWORK = client.veritas.org ON

RESILIENT_NETWORK = 192.0.2.0 ON

RESILIENT_NETWORK = 192.0.2.0/26 OFF

RESILIENT_NETWORK = 2001:db8:0:0:0:0:0:0 ON

Equivalent Administration Console property

NetBackup Management > Host Properties > Master Servers or Clients > Double-click on server > Resilient Network.

See Specifying resilient connections.

Note:

The order is significant for the items in the list of resilient networks. If a client is in the list more than once, the first match determines its resilient connection status. For example, suppose you add a client and specify the client IP address and specify On for Resiliency. Suppose also that you add a range of IP addresses as Off, and the client IP address is within that range. If the client IP address appears before the address range, the client connection is resilient. Conversely, if the IP range appears first, the client connection is not resilient.
