Re: [Veritas-bu] Change in Media Server Names / IP's - Advice please
2008-11-19 09:00:12
I would treat it as the complete decomissioning of a couple of media
servers. Here is what I would do.
*BEFORE* decommissioning/renaming (very
important) :
- Full NBU catalog backup
- bpmedialist -h <each media
server> to determine which tapes are owned by those media servers
-
bpmedia -movedb -oldserver <old media server name> -newserver <master
server> to move all the media DB data from those media servers off to the
master
- delete any storage units for those media servers,
- remove all
SERVER= entries referring to the old server names from all media/master
servers.
Once the servers have been renamed....
- uninstall and
reinstall NBU media server on the newly named boxes (Hey, it's Windows - a
reinstall is always a good thing, if you can)
- create new storage units for
the new media servers and change the existing policies to use the new storage
units
If you want ongoing restores from the backups from the old media
servers to run from the newly renamed media servers, bpmedia -movedb the tape
back from the master to the new media servers.
I wouldn't screw around
with DNS aliasing and that kind of thing. Sounds like a can of
worms.
Cheers

All
Good
afternoon. I wonder if I can seek clarification.
Environment: NBU
5.1+MP5 Windows 2003 - Master and Many SAN Media
Servers using
SSO
Problem: 2 SAN Media Servers are part of a Windows Cluster that is
being
dissolved.
The Physical Names are: SERV1 and SERV2 with Virtual
Names of FILE1 and
FILE2 (File1 resources are normally on SERV1 and
File2 Resources are on
SERV2).
The request is being made to RENAME
the Physical Server Names as
something different with brand new IP
addresses.
In my head, I am seeing alot of warning alerts with
NetBackup
complaining.
I wanted to know if there is a clean method
of approaching this, or
should I try to retain the Physical Server names
and IP addresses, and
simply use DNS Alias naming to point to the
corresponding Physical
Server names.
Apprecaite any thoughts on this
and thank you for your time reading
this.
Many
Thanks
Simon
