Broadly there are two possible configurations which allow both:
Access to the Active Directory server for AD authentication and
Separation of Corporate LAN and Network SAN traffic
Option 1: HP D2D Backup System on Corporate SAN and Network SAN
In this option, the D2D device has a port in the Corporate SAN which has access to the Active Directory Domain
Controller. This link is then used to authenticate CIFS share access.
The port(s) on the Network SAN are used to transfer the actual data.
This configuration is relatively simple to configure:
On D2D devices with only 1Gbit ports: Dual Port mode should be configured and each port connected and
configured for either the Corporate LAN or Network SAN. In this case one data port is “lost” for authentication
traffic so this solution will not provide optimal performance.
On HP D2D4312/4324 devices with both 10Gbit and 1Gbit ports: the 10Gbit ports can be configured in a
bonded network mode and configured for access to the Network SAN. One or both of the 1Gbit ports can
then be connected to the Corporate LAN for authentication traffic. In this case optimal performance can be
maintained.
The backup application media server also needs network connections into both the Corporate LAN and Network
SAN. The diagram below shows this configuration with an HP D2D4300 Series Backup System.
