Thanks for you fast response.

So you are saying is that the Avamar Procedure Generator has an error?

This is the text copied from PG:

One additional Avamar Gen4-specific configuration step must be performed. On the utility node of the

Gen4 system, add the accelerator node to the probe.xml file by running the following command:

nodedb add if --node=0.accelerator.0 --addr=IPADDR

For further installation instructions, refer to the Avamar NDMP Accelerator 6.0 User Guide.

So instead nodedb add if --node=0.accelerator.0 --addr=IPADDR

should be nodedb add node --addr=IPADDR --nwgrp=1 --type=0.accelerator.0

Is that it?

Another question: and if the Avamar DS has 16 active nodes is that still possible?

Thanks in advance.

It appears that you're using nodedb add if which is used to add an interface to an existing node. You need to use nodedb add node instead. I've pasted the help text below for your reference:

admin@testgrid$ nodedb add node --help Synopsis:   nodedb add node --addr=ADDRESS --nwgrp=NETWORK_GROUP_ID [ --type=TYPE ]     [ --after | --before | --replace ] [ --node=NODE-ID ]     [ --nat=INITIAL1=TARGET1[,...] ]     [ --allow=USES ] [ --deny=USES ] [ --module=INDEX|NAME ]     [ --(no)legacy ] [ --legacy_path=PATH ] [ --(no)debug ]     [ --help ] [ --path=PATH ] [ --(no)ipv6 ] Description: add a node optionally with one initial network interface Options for "nodedb add node":   --addr=ADDRESS     specify address of new node interface   --after            place new node after specified node   --allow=USES       specify one or more comma-separated allowed interface uses, e.g., backup, internal, all, none   --before           place new node before specified node   --(no)debug        (do not) print more verbose error messages   --deny=USES        specify one or more comma-separated denied interface uses, e.g., backup, internal, all, none   --help             print a help message and exit   --(no)ipv6         (do not) enable experimental ipv6 features (default: --noipv6)   --(no)legacy       (do not) update the legacy node resource database file (default: --legacy)   --legacy_path=PATH                      specify an alternative path to the legacy node resource database   --module=INDEX|NAME                      add the node to the module with the specified index or name   --nat=INITIAL1=TARGET1[,...]                      specify one or more comma-separated INITIAL=TARGET NAT address mappings   --node=NODE-ID     specify new node by id, e.g., 0.0   --nodedb=PATH      specify an alternative path to the node resource database file (same as --path)   --nwgrp=NETWORK_GROUP_ID                      specify network group id (a positive integer) for the new node interface   --path=PATH        specify an alternative path to the node resource database file (same as --nodedb)   --replace          replace specified node with new node   --type=NODE-TYPE   specify type of new node, e.g., single, utility, storage, ... NODE-ID examples:   0.s               utility node in module 0   0.1               storage node 1 in module 0   0.spare.0         spare node 0 in module 0   0.access.0        access node 0 in module 0   0.accelerator.0   accelerator node 0 in module 0

It worked, thanks again.

I have two accelerator's added using the 'nodedb add' command:

Both have a second interface defined (eth2). I'd like to add this second interface (at least I think I do) to both for a backup network.  First off do I need to add these? If so how to give the --node option for each and do I increment the --nwgrp=2 for this interface?

nodedb add if --node=0.accelerator.0 --addr=100.40.4.100 --nwgrp=2

nodedb add if --node=0.accelerator.1 --addr=100.40.4.101 --nwgrp=2

Thanks

I answered my first part of the question --node=

(0.accelerator.0) ssh  -x  -o GSSAPIAuthentication=no root@100.40.3.100

(0.accelerator.1) ssh  -x  -o GSSAPIAuthentication=no root@100.40.3.101
