For multihomed machines, you can specify the preferred network address, fallback addresses, and barred addresses from the Change Settings page.
When a connection is initiated, the addresses are attempted in the following order:
1 |
In the Navigation pane, click Change Settings. |
• |
To configure default settings for a NetVault Client, click Choose machine. In the Choose machine drawer, select the client, and click Go to settings. |
3 |
4 |
Specify the primary IP address for network connection. You can only specify a single IP address. | |
5 |
Click Apply to apply the new settings and close the dialog box. |
To force the NetVault Server to use the preferred address, do one of the following:
• |
Alternatively, disable or disconnect the network interface currently in use until the timeout for remote connection expires. The value configured for the Time to complete remote connection setting determines the duration for which the network interface needs to be disabled or disconnected. Restart the NetVault Service when the client is reported as unavailable. The NetVault Server uses the preferred address when the next connection attempt is made after you restart the service on the client. |
When the NetVault Service starts, it attempts to resolve all client IP addresses listed in the machines.dat file, which resides in the etc directory under the NetVault installation directory. Resolving all client addresses can cause a significant delay in the service startup and the machine can appear unresponsive during this time. You can reduce or avoid the startup delay by specifying the addresses that are not to be resolved during startup.

Comma separated list of networks and addresses not to resolve: To reduce or avoid the startup delay, specify the addresses that are not to be resolved during startup. |

The clients that are offline and listed on the Manage Clients page can also cause the startup delay. To speed up the process, you can remove the clients that are offline or no longer in use. |
• |
In a domain managed by a Windows-based NetVault Server, you may experience a long delay as the service attempts to resolve all client IP addresses using the NBNS (NetBIOS Name Service) protocol. In this environment, you can use the Comma separated list of networks and addresses not to resolve setting to reduce the startup delay. |
