Avamar/Data Domain Replication
I'm not sure if this is best for the Avamar or DD forum. I was curious during Avamar replication, since Avamar is controlling the replication between the DD's, does anyone know how the DD decides what interface to use to replicate? This is for AVE, not sure if that matters.
Only reason I'm asking, watching the real-time graphs on the DD, on the source DD it will use the console's 1G connection and then it switched and started using one of the 10G interfaces. The target just uses the console's 1G for receiving, so anyways I was just curious if it's normal for the DD's to switch interfaces. As long as it replicates the data don;t really care, but was curious nonetheless.

The interface used by DD is the interface which is used to add into Avamar. So you can check the DD FQDN/IP from the MC GUI and find the IP/Interface used.

The problem we have with our standard deployments of Avamar / Data Domain with dedicated Management, backup and replication interfaces on separate networks.
The default route is normally the Backup network on both the Avamar and Data Domain and normally all interfaces are defined in DNS (see note 1). The Data Domain is normally integrated with a Avamar via it’s backup network as clients need to access the Avamar backup and the name of the interface that was used to integrate the DD with the Avamar, we will call this interface DD-control for now.
When it’s time for replication . the replication seems to want to use the DD-control interface name instead of the replication interface name and needs to be faked out by putting host files on the source Avamar/Data domain with the DD-control interface name , but the actual IP of the replication interface.
I have to believe that this not how the product was designed to function and we need to know the correct why to configure the Data Domain so it knows which interface name to try to contact.
This is your mission if you decide to accept it (and this message will self-destruct in 1 minute).
