NetBackup™ Flex Scale Best Practices and Troubleshooting Guide

Management network connectivity

The eth1 port of the node is connected to the management network. Use the ping command to verify if the management network is available and the nodes are reachable:

ping -I eth1-interface-ip destination-ip

eth1-interface-ip is the IP address assigned to the eth1 interface.

destination-ip is the destination IP address.

For example:

mgmtip22.nbfs.com:~ # ping -I 192.168.70.22 192.168.70.10
PING 192.168.70.10 (192.168.70.10) from 192.168.70.22 : 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from 192.168.70.10: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.267 ms

--- 192.168.70.10 ping statistics ---
1 packets transmitted, 1 received, 0% packet loss, time 0ms
rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 0.267/0.267/0.267/0.000 ms
mgmtip22.nbfs.com:~ #

If the customer's site does not allow the usage of ping command, use the arping command instead:

arping -I eth1 ipaddress

Verify the entries in the routing table for all the nodes:

network route show nodename=nodename
