Abstract
Information is stored that maps storage units to a pool of data protection appliances on which the storage units reside. The stored information includes a set of Internet Protocol (IP) addresses through which each data protection appliance can be reached. A connection request is received from a client. The connection request includes an identification of a particular storage unit which the client seeks to access for a data protection job. The particular storage unit is looked up in the stored information to identify a particular data protection appliance on which the particular storage unit currently resides. A list of multiple IP addresses through which the particular data protection appliance can be reached according to the stored information is returned to the client. The client, upon receipt of the list, selects an IP address from the list to attempt an initial connection to the particular data protection appliance.
