Grid Configuration... Your Opinion and why?
We have deployed a Avamar Grid which has been working great for months now. In review of how we configured it one of our SME brought up a interesting point and I'm looking for some best practice / ECN opinion on.
We currently have a seven Node grid. Six utilty and one spare, with the following IP configuration..
(0.s) 10.90.29.5
(0.0) 10.90.29.9
(0.1) 10.90.29.11
(0.2) 10.90.29.13
(0.3) 10.90.29.15
(0.4) 10.90.29.17
(0.5) 10.90.29.19
As you can see the first address is our spare node.
Oour DNS for this grid points to the 0.s node as the default address when being resolved.
I'm not sure if this is a great idea or not or it just doesn't matter. I know the ultilities pick up the traffic for all transfer but should you point to the spare?
What have you done for what reason?
Thanks

Thanks ianderson
Your right, this is not the storage node.. I got some additional feed back from Micheal Dick outside of ECN and he pointed me to display all nodes not just the data and utility nodes..
When you show all you see the spare 0.spare.0 node.
So 0.s is our utility node and now makes clear sense that it is the default IP address.

This is somewhat counter-intuitive but 0.s is the utility node. The spare node would be listed as 0.spare.0. The utility node is node designated 0.s for historical reasons.
