Discalimer: I haven't implemented the exact scenario you are describing
(SF-HA on Sol-10), but have kludged something similar.
you
need to configure your drives to the OS so that the drive config
is common on each node.
NBU
doesn't care too much about the actual PCI device path, but rather just the
drive index (it's location in the library) and the device file
name.
Normally when you "discover" your tape devices, the OS numbers them, as
/dev/rmt/0cbn, 1cbn, 2cbn, etc....so when you configure the second box, it will
reorder the numbers.
you
can "hardcode" the correlation between the device and the /dev/rmt entry in your
/etc/devlink.tab so that /dev/rmt/0cbn on node A is the same drive as on node
B.
Once
this is done, there isn't even any need to failover to the second node and
reconfig, as the config from node A will be applicable to node B as
well.

Folks,
I am looking for
advice/understanding of device configuration in a cluster scenario. My
specifics are Solaris 10 Master/Media with NetBackup 6.5 atop Storage
Foundation HA in a two node topology. The robot is a Quantum Scalar
i2000 with FC drives. The only reference I can find suggests configuring
the devices through the wizard on the active node then failing the service
over to the other node and repeating the exercise. However I am
struggling to understand how both sets of information are maintained in the
EMM?
Regards,
