[Veritas-bu] NetBackup Planning / DR process

That's not exactly true.  It is OS dependent (hardware really).  For
example, Sun needs a Boot Server on the same subnet to answer the
bootparams broadcast.  AIX clients can boot across subnet boundaries -
so there doesn't have to be a boot server in the same subnet.  BMR does
not handle Windows network boot automatically (CD or Floppy is
supported, you can configure a PXE server to work but it's outside BMR
control) so the Windows client does not need a boot server in the same
subnet. 

 

So for Windows BMR clients, they don't have to be in the same Vlan as
the NetBackup Master or Boot Server.

keep in mind that in order for BMR to work properly, clients must be on
the same VLAN as the BMR server, in order to boot.

        Good Morning

        Well so far, so good - got a more stable NBU system - one SAN
Media failed its backup, but not bothered about that and its running
fine now!

         

        I wanted to try and cover some grounds with any NBU
win2k3/NT/2000 environments, about how your NetBackup environment is
configured and what failover you have in place or DR plans.

         

        I have been looking at BMR for NBU6, but I run 5.1 MP2 which has
been extremely stable for us (if you exclude the manual intervention of
someone destroying it!!!), and have not been fully convinced about going
to 6 yet.

         

        BMR works and integrates with 6, but from a DR point, I am not
sure if this is the right method to go down.
