Avamar with DD2500 replication

Hi everyone,

I just install 2 grid avamar 7.2 both of them with DD2500.

Each avamar have Backup LAN (bond0) and Replication (bond2) [non routable intersite link].

Each datadomain have 2x10Gbit/s LACP with VLAN Backup and VLAN Replication.

Avamar is connect to DD2500 via backup VLAN for local backup.

Backup VLAN can cross intersite link via routing.

Replication works fine but use backup VLAN not replication VLAN => LAN Saturation

How can I tell Datadomain to use replication VLAN instead of Backup VLAN?

Replication is manage by avamar but can't  I configure DD replication VLAN somewhere??

Hi,

You need to "trick" Avamar to think its using the replication interfaces instead of the backup interfaces. I did a while back at a customer site and I seem to remember it was fairly easy after giving it some thought.

For the Avamar side I followed the Avamar dedicated replication interfaces procedure.

After this I created interfaces on both DD(Source + Destination) systems on the replication network. Static routes and host mappings was necessary.

  On Avamar the only thing I did was to create entries in the hosts file that destination DD system hostname would not resolve to DNS IP but replication IP.

in DD can't you change "Connection Host" parameter and specify interface on target DD that you want to replicate to. If traffic is still leaving source DD using incorrect interface, you might have to set a static route.

Hi Broeste,

*thanx for you advice.

I add "connection Host" parameter on DD and it seems to work as expecteed.

I'm waiting network guy validation to confirm DD replicate on good VLAN.

I should test real replication tomorrow.

I will keep you inform if it's working.

Hi all,

Just have a test today and it works fine.

I just add host mapping to let DD think he have to talk via replication VLAN.

Thanx all for your advices
