static route for dedicated replication in avamar

Hi,

setting dedicated replication between the two avamar grids is as below :-

Source Avamar Details (gen4t, single node , 7.4 version )kyagbtsava2-util	Target Avamar Details(gen4t, single node, 7.4 version)kysvltsava1-util
bond0 (for backup/management traffic) :- (IP :- 10.240.200.51, subnet mask :- 255.255.254.0 , gw :- 10.240.200.1) bond2 (for replication only) :- (IP :- 10.240.200.52, subnet mask :- 255.255.254.0 , gw :- 10.240.200.1)	bond0 (for backup/management traffic) :- (IP :- 10.240.84.46 , subnet mask :- 255.255.252.0 , gw :- 10.240.84.1) bond2 (for replication only) :- (IP :- 10.240.84.52, subnet mask :- 255.255.252.0 , gw :- 10.240.84.1)

Customer has given two IP’s from same subnet and gateway for the bond0 and bond2 traffic in each source and target avamar.
when we test the communication between the two grids using the command avmgr logn --hfsaddr=10.240.84.52 --id=repluser --ap=9RttoTriz --noconfig --debug --encrypt=ssl that got failed with error initial handshake failed.
Customer has already checked with his network/firewall team confirmed me that there is no firewall between the hosts i.e. kyagbtsava2-util and kysvltsava1-util. so they should be able to talk each other without any issue.
Customer asked me that if we can put any static route in the hosts so that they can talk to each other without any issue. I tried that , when I put static route for bond2 only the two grids talk to each other on that IP but the management or bond0 are not able to talk. When I fix the route for bond0 the bond2 does not respond between the two grids.
When proper route is put between for any interface (bond0/bond2) the two avamar grids can talk to each other on ports 28001/29000.

please let me know incase there is any way to put static route in this scenario to configure dedicated replication in avamar

thanks,

Chandan

Using two IP addresses from the same subnet on the same Avamar node is not currently supported. If the customer wishes to use a dedicated replication network, they will need to use an IP address on a separate subnet.

Hi Ian,

Thanks a lot for the response. yes I played with different kind of route options but at given point of time I was able to make only one interface talk to the other grid. he was asking me to edit the route table on OS Linux basis . I do not know doing that will do any good or not.

Thanks,

Chandan
