General networking implementation questions !
Hello everyone,
Please bear with me as I am coming from a different backup product background and this is my first EMC implementation, Any input is much appreciated ;
Here is my configuration:
2 DD 6300 with :
- DD 10 GBASE T IO MODULE 4 PORT
- DD 16GBIT FC IO MODULE LC 2 PORT OPTION
- DD 10 GBE IO MOD OPTICAL FC OPTICAL SFP 4PORT OPTION x 2
Networker VE hosted on vMware
Due to customer's constraints we are going all IP, no FC for now
The initial concept is to spare 1 link for management, 1 link for replication, and dedicate all remaining links to the Networker VE node while using DD Boost (through ifgroups), subsequent direct backups through FC for stand alone boxes may follow.
I am short of ideas how to implement this, mainly how to partition/dedicate the links, any advice is welcome, Thanks !

Hi,
I would recommend to implement as following:
- DD 10 GBASE T IO MODULE 4 PORT: 2 ports in failover for management + 2 ports in lacp for replication
- DD 16GBIT FC IO MODULE LC 2 PORT OPTION: for VTL or DFC
- DD 10 GBE IO MOD OPTICAL FC OPTICAL SFP 4PORT OPTION x 2: all ports in lacp for service backup

I don't dedicate interfaces for management, management traffic is so low i don't see the point.
On my DD9500 i have 2 x 4port 10 GBE SFP cards. Let's say card one is in slot 1 and card two is in slot 4. So my network interfaces are listed as such:
1a
1b
1c
1d
and
4a
4b
4c
4d
I created an LACP interface using port 1a and 4a (each port is connected to different Nexus 5k switch). Then ports 1b,1c,4b,4c are port of an ifgroup. I left port 1d and 4d for future expansion or replication needs.
