Re: [Veritas-bu] NBU media server cluster

Best way is to have a virtual name configured for the cluster (SQLVirtualDB) that can be seen across the cluster.

NetBackup can be configured (using the SQL online backup) to perform the backup job to this VSN.

I do this quite often here.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] NBU media server cluster

Guys,

I would love to seek your assistance and opinions on this setup. I have two SQL server nodes clustered using Microsoft Cluster. Version of DB and OS is SQL 2007 and Windows Ent 2008 x64.

On each node, there are two DB instance, DB A and DB B, DB A will be active on Node 1 and DB B will will be passive mode on Node 1. On Node 2 DB B is active while DB A is passive. Its kind of a cross active-passive cluster setup.

My question is what is the best approach to backup both DB in a clustered NBU media server configuration? Can NBU services failover to the other node in case of disaster and resume backup as per normal?

Thanks
