PowerProtect Data Manager 19.12 Administration and User Guide
ifGroup configuration and PowerProtect Data Manager policies
If an ifGroup is configured on the DD, the IP address selected in the PowerProtect Data Manager protection policy is only used for the initial connection, and redirection (for example, for load balancing) occurs according to the ifGroup setting on the DD. LACP and other failover options on the DD work independently from what is selected in the PowerProtect Data Manager policy.
The following examples and diagrams demonstrate common scenarios in PowerProtect Data Manager when an ifGroup is configured on the DD.
PowerProtect Data Manager policy with no ifGroup
DD configuration:
- eth1/eth2 1G
- eth3/eth4/eth5/eth6 10G
- No ifGroup
PowerProtect Data Manager policy with one ifGroup
DD configuration:
- eth1/eth2 1G
- eth3/eth4/eth5/eth6 10G
- ifGroup * eth3/eth4/eth5/eth6
PowerProtect Data Manager policy with multiple ifGroups
DD configuration:
- eth1/eth2 1G
- eth3/eth4/eth5/eth6 10G
- ifGroup VLAN-VM eth3/eth4
- ifGroup VLAN-SQL eth5/eth6
