If you use FORCE_RESTORE_MEDIA_SERVER you don't have to use the bpimage
-newserver -oldserver

They are both ways to do restore with alternate media server.  pick one or the
other.  see Server Independent Restores section of manual for more info.

Hi,

I am about to participate in a DR test very shortly. The DR site is going
to provide a single master/media server with a standalone 9840 drive. The
currently configuration consists of a master/media server and two
additional media servers and a 9840 robotic library.

Here is a summary of my plan:-


1. Install the netbackup master / media software on the DR server.

2. Add the following to the bp.conf file on the master/media server.

     FORCE_RESTORE_MEDIA_SERVER          oldmediaserver1
drmediaserver
     FORCE_RESTORE_MEDIA_SERVER          oldmediaserver2
drmediaserver

3.Remove all storage units except the master server.

4. Configure storage unit and change robot to NONE  and density to 1/2 inch
CART.

5. Configure standalone drive.

6. Run the following:-

     bpimage -newserver drserver -oldserver oldmediaserver1
     bpimage -newserver drserver -oldserver oldmediaserver2.

Is there anything I am missing ? I am particuarly interested in the robot
to standalone configuration ? The last trial I had problems restoring
backups spanning tapes to a standalone drive?

Any help will be appreciated.

Regards Jason
