Avamar required bonding with DD Boost
Hi All,
I have a single Avamar node Gen4t with 2 SLIC modules and 4 nics each. The Avamar is integrated with DD Boost and I'm not using replication. I have 2 questions.
1- I understand that best practice is to split Avamar management and backup traffic over nics, does backup traffic matter considering I'm using DD Boost so backup data goes straight to Data Domain?
2- If yes, then how would I create two bonds, one for management and one for backup, do I need to edit the bondconf.xml file?
Cheers
Mo

if you need create another bound, you need execute a dpnnetutil and create a secondary bound a configure another IP.
on data domain, you need configure a ifgroups to receive backup using the new IP on Avamar.
but I think if it is not necessary to create another link to separate the traffic in avamar to the data domain, the data domain and Avamar use ddboost,
then in a backup the client sends data directly to the data domain without going through Avamar, Avamar is only used then to receive metadata. this if all the backups are directed to the Data Domain.
