SureBackup/VirtualLab and portgroups with same subnet/gateway

Post by pirx »

#07929109

SureBackup/VL is my final enemy. For a long time now.

In production we have different clusters with different vDS. On those vDS, portgroups with identical VLANs/subnets/gateways are configured (for historical reasons we decided to not use only one vDS streched over all clusters at a location). SureBackup jobs are based on linked backup jobs, which are on per cluster base. All kinds of networks are used in clusters.

There seems to be no easy way to setup SB and VL for this. A single VL can only have the gateway address of a specific network configured on one vNIC in isolation network (same gw IP can not be configured on multipe vNICs). For our many jobs from many clusters that share identical networks (but different portgroup/network names) it means that we need a lot of VLs. One per cluster as far as I understand.

Example: for below 5 clusters all using VLAN 11 (there are even more using VLAN 11...) configured on different portgroups (cluster01_dvs01_vlan11 ....) I can not create a single VL for SureBackup as the gw is identical.
cluster01_dvs01_vlan11 11 10.11.0.0/16 10.11.8.1
cluster03_dvs01_vlan11 11 10.11.0.0/16 10.11.8.1
cluster20_dvs01_vlan11 11 10.11.0.0/16 10.11.8.1
cluster21_dvs01_vlan11 11 10.11.0.0/16 10.11.8.1
cluster_Lab_dvs01_vlan11 11 10.11.0.0/16 10.11.8.1
If this is the case, is there any way to clone/copy VLs?
