Hello,
You can configure your storage nodesbetween tw Networker servers because in
your configuration just one NetWorker server is up and running at the same time
but it is not supported to have a NetWorkerr server in version 7.x and Storage
node in version 6.x.
Alphastor prodcut is necessary when you woukld like to share library with more
than one NetWorker server, this is not the case here.
Regards
Jean-Pierre

This only works with an AlphaStor library. Not sure if it is supported.

Can a storage node be shared by more than one server and will an older
storage node release work with 7.x?
We have 2 storage nodes both running 6.1.1, with one library each, and
they work with our older 6.1.1 server. However, we've just installed a
newer 7.2.1 server on another box to replace this old server. However,
until we do the permanent swap, it's using the same IP and host name
during the day for testing, while the old server is down to avoid IP
conflicts, and in the evening before the backups run, its IP and host
name is changed back, and the nightly backups resume on the old server.
This new host will use a third storage node and library that has not
been set up yet, but would like to be able to also use and test out the
other 2 storage nodes, but this seems problematic ...
Will it be necessary to re-run jbconfig on those storage nodes for their
devices to show up on the new server even though the host name for the
primary server is the same? Also, will the older 6.1.1 storage node
server software work with 7.2.1? Would be nice; otherwise, we'd have to
uninstall it and load 7.2.1, but then we could no longer use the storage
nodes with our older 6.1.1 server, and that has to be available to run
our backups until we do the swap. Guess we could down grade the software
back to 6.1.1 and then go back and forth, but that's a lot of work to do
every day.
Any advice would be appreciated.
George
