How do I specify an interface for managed file replication on a DD890 with Networker?
I am working on a customer's setup performing backups and cloning using a pair of DD890's and Networker 8.1. The DD's have both a veth at 1 gb and an if-group at 10 gb. The backups are running over the if-group with no issue, but when the clone replication is started, it is going over the veth instead. Customer would like to run the replication over the 10 gb network, but I am not finding any way to force the use of the if-group. If it were a normal replication, I could modify the interface based on the context, but with Networker and DDBoost running the replication, there is no context available to modify. Does anyone have any ideas on how to make the replication go over the 10gb network interfaces? Thanks.

The hosts table where? I do not see any way to do this on the cli for the DD's. Is it a setting in the gui? Thanks.
Hi David.
Clone Jobs (opt-dup) are actually a replication but no context is required as they are manage by the backup software (Networker in this case)
Achieving what you want is done at the level of network connectivity
So, let´s say you have the following enviroment:
DD1 (Source) --> 192.168.0.1/24
DD2 (Destination of the clone) --> 192.168.0.2/24
Basically you have to create an static route between the DD1 and DD2, so all the traffic from DD1 to DD2 uses the 10 GB interface
Something like
On DD1
route add -host 192.168.0.2 netmask 255.255.255.0 gw 192.168.0.10 eth0b
Assuming eth0b is 10 GB and 192.168.0.10 is the gw
Hope it helps
Cheers!

You must change it via hosts table... for example:
dd1:
back-end_DD2 IP front-end_FQDNDD2
dd2:
back-end_DD1 IP front-end_FQDNDD1
