■ Network File System (NFS) or Common Internet File System (CIFS) protocols
are supported over an IPv4 network on appliance. NFS or CIFS are not supported
on IPv6 networks.
■ The NetBackup client can now communicate with the media server appliance
over IPv6.
■ The Main_Menu > Network > Hosts command supports multiple IPv6 addresses
to be assigned to the same host name having one network interface card (NIC).
However, only one IPv4 address can be assigned to a specific host name having
one NIC using this command.
■ You can add an IPv6 address of a network interface without specifying a gateway
address.
For more details, see the NetBackup Appliance Command Reference Guide.
About enabling BMR options
You can now enable Bare Metal Restore (BMR) from Manage > Host > Advanced
in the NetBackup Appliance Web Console when the appliance is configured as a
master server. BMR is the server recovery option of NetBackup that automates and
streamlines the server recovery process. Thus making it unnecessary to manually
reinstall the operating systems or configure hardware. BMR allows the recovery of:
■ Windows systems to completely different hardware (Dissimilar System Recovery
or DSR)
■ UNIX/Linux systems to disks of varying geometry (Dissimilar Disk Recovery or
DDR)
For more information about the recovery process using BMR, refer to the BMR
Administrator’s Guide.
See “About best practices” on page 17.
Interpretation of some of the fields of vxprint output
from NetBackup Appliances
The output of the vxprint command displays the layout and configuration of
NetBackup appliances, including volumes, disks, and subdisks. This section explains
the different columns in vxprint output from all versions of NetBackup Appliances.
This helps the field engineers, support engineers, consultants, the customers, and
the partners understand the volumes layout and how much spaces are allocated
to different volumes for configuration and troubleshooting purposes.
