Re: [Veritas-bu] NetBackup Master in VCS Cluster

Paul,

Configure the devices on whichever node is active, then failover to the second node and run through the device configuration wizard again for that node. Then you should be all set. The device configuration wizard will show the server name as the server it is scanning, but when you look at the storage units, you should see them as being configured as the clustered name.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] NetBackup Master in VCS Cluster

Folks,

I am in the process of building a v6.5 Master Server on Solaris 10 in a VCS 5.0 framework. I have done the basic install and tested the application will failover between the two nodes. However, I now want to configure a couple of FC attached tape drives for the catalog backups and am confused as to how to proceed. The documentation suggests I attach the devices to both nodes and run device configuration from the active node which means the device host will be the physical node, but do I make the storage units point to the virtual node name and/or do I have to do something clever with the EMM to tell it about the relationship between virtual and physical hosts. There is talk of this in the documentation under the description “application cluster” but is this what I have i.e. netbackup as an application in a cluster?

Any guidance much appreciated.

Regards,
