Overview • The training for multiple NIC support will cover the following areas • Technology overview • Usability changes • Functionality changes • Installation consideration
Option/technology Overview • Multiple NIC Card Support • Support is built into the base product and will allow users to specify the NIC cards to be used for backup and restore jobs. • This allows you to re-direct the backup streams to a dedicated segment • This functionality works as follows: • The user specifies the network adaptersto be used. • Before the start of a backup or restore session, the host server tries the network adapters sequentially as specified in the configuration file, one after another to connect to the destination server.
Usability Changes • A multiple NIC configuration function has been added to both the front end and the back end • The backend can be accessed from the BrightStor scheduler console • The front end can be accessed from ARCserve Server Admin
Functionality Changes • IP addresses are saved in the configuration file ASCONFIG.INI on the host server. An example of the new sections of the ASCONFIG.INI is given below. • This section is used to store IP addresses for all the available network adapters. [Available network cards] Ipaddress1 = 138.42.161.25 Ipaddress2 = 138.42.161.33 Ipaddress3 = 138.42.161.12 Ipaddress4 = 138.42.161.24 TotalIPAvailable = 4 • This section is used to store IP addresses that are configured for using in the Backup and restore operations [Multiple NIC] EnableMultipleNIC = YES Ipaddress1 = 138.42.161.25 Ipaddress2 = 138.42.161.24 TotalIPSpecified = 2
Installation Consideration • The use of multiple NIC relies on the use of the NW Agent on the remote server. • Since this option works only with TCPIP, the NW Agent is to be configured to use TCPIP. The NW Agent can be configured to use the TCPIP by specifying the following in the ASconfig.ini file in the nwagent directory on the target server. [Netware Agent] IPAddress = 138.42.161.78
Summary • Multiple NIC must be configured before it can be used. • The host server tries the network adapters sequentially as specified in the configuration file. • The network adapters are used as specified in the configuration file and not the order in which they where selected, it may be necessary to manually modify the entries in the ASCONFIG.INI
Overview • The training for Image Option will cover the following areas • Technology overview • Usability Changes • Functionality changes • Pre-requisites • Installation consideration • Upgrade considerations • Backward compatibility
Option/Technology Overview • The Image Option for BrightStor ARCserve NetWare allows you to backup server data at the sector level on the hard disks. It will be able to backup both traditional and NSS volumes and NSS pools on NetWare 6.0. • Supported on NetWare 4.11, 4.2, 5.x and 6.0 • Restores a full NSS volume/pool, as well as selective volume and pool restores will be possible for NetWare 5.x and 6.0 servers.
Option/Technology Overview • Selective file restore • User will be given option to select one or more files/directories to be restored from a pool backup on NW 6.0. At present, file level restore is not supported on NW 5.x NSS volumes. • By default, an Image backup job can only be submitted through the ARCserve Manager (GUI).
The BrightStor ARCserve Backup Image Option allows you to perform high-speed backups of NetWare file system volumes, both traditional NetWare volumes and Novell Storage Services (NSS) volumes and pools, by accessing the data directly at a sector level rather than sending a request to the file system. Functionality changes
Pre-requisite’s • BrightStor ARCserve Backup Base • Netware 4.11, 4.2, 5.x, 6.0
Summary • Netware 6 NSS volumes are backed up at the pool level. If you have more that one volume in a pool all volumes within the pool will be backed up within the same session. • Traditional volumes and NetWare 6 NSS volumes support both Image and File level Restores • All NSS Image Restores are to original location only. • 5.x NSS backups are Image Only therefore all Restores are Image Restores
Summary • Image is supported only for the HOST server • An Image restore cannot be cancelled due to the nature of the restore process
Overview • The training for GroupWise 6 Support will cover the following areas • Technology overview • Usability Changes • Functionality changes • Pre-requisites • Installation consideration • Upgrade considerations • Backward compatibility
Option/Technology Overview • Support for GroupWise TSA • Support has been added to provide backup and restore of GroupWise through the TSA supplied by Novell. This will use the appropriate GroupWise TSA services and will take advantage of all performance benefits these provide. • BrightStor ARCserve Backup will now use the GroupWise TSA, GWTSA, if it exists on the GroupWise server to backup and restore the GroupWise mail server, domains and post offices.
Functionality changes • GroupWise Agent is no longer needed when backing up GroupWise 6 the processing is done by the GWTSA
