Hi Greg,

In my last site we ran everything on VCS so we setup our master  
server as a clustered application within that framework and NetBackup  
has all the scripts to install on cluster nodes - this gives you  
cover for local hardware failure. To cover us for site failure we  
used VVR/GCO in async mode to basically fail NetBackup between sites.  
If you don't want to run VCS locally you can just use VVR to fail  
over between sites. Its also alot more straightforward if you  
separate media/master server functionality when you're clustering.  
There is also a change in clustering between 5.x and 6 whereby all  
the application binaries are stored on each cluster node rather than  
in a shared filesystem so this complicates the upgrade process slightly.

Experience of using NetBackup replicated with VVR was good - just  
takes a bit of time to get it engineered and running - after that it  
seems to work well...
