Networking description:

Deploy one ESXi physical host, install the VMware VM software, create VMs, and preconfigured production data at the production file system end for f backup.
Deploy the NetBackup software: Use both Windows and Linux VM servers as the NetBackup master server, media server and client.
Deploy the AD Controller: Use one Windows server VM as the AD controller for CIFS backup.
All storage devices connect to the NetBackup media server through 10g Ethernet.
The management network and service network are connected to the NetBackup software and Huawei OceanStor Dorado storage through switches.
