We have a Solaris NBU master, and Solaris and Linux clients, each of which have a NIC on the public network and a NIC on the backup network,
The Solaris and linux clients are all configured with a bp.conf of:
SERVER = NBU master backup NIC
CLIENT = client backup NIC
and policy has been setup (one for each O/S) with the client using the backup NIC and Solaris clients work, but Linux does not as the host will not connect
If we change bp.conf to use public NIC for SERVER and CLIENT and change client in policy to use public NIC, then Linux will connect.
I have check all the obvious stuff between NBU master and Linux client:
- Both hosts can ping each other on backup interface using hostname
- Both hosts can telnet to each other on ports 1556 and 13782
Any ideas what else to check?
The NBU master is 7.5.0.6 on Solaris 10
The Solaris client is 7.5 on Solaris 10
The Linux client is 7.0.1 on Redhat 6.4
