rcarlisle,
 
Many thanks for the clarification.  Does the same apply to robotic control?  Do 
I need to define the robot on both physical nodes to make it highly available?

Paul,
 
Configure the devices on whichever node is active, then failover to the second 
node and run through the device configuration wizard again for that node.  Then 
you should be all set.  The device configuration wizard will show the server 
name as the server it is scanning, but when you look at the storage units, you 
should see them as being configured as the clustered name.

Folks,

 

I am in the process of building a v6.5 Master Server on Solaris 10 in a VCS 5.0 
framework.  I have done the basic install and tested the application will 
failover between the two nodes.  However, I now want to configure a couple of 
FC attached tape drives for the catalog backups and am confused as to how to 
proceed.  The documentation suggests I attach the devices to both nodes and run 
device configuration from the active node which means the device host will be 
the physical node, but do I make the storage units point to the virtual node 
name and/or do I have to do something clever with the EMM to tell it about the 
relationship between virtual and physical hosts.  There is talk of this in the 
documentation under the description "application cluster" but is this what I 
have i.e. netbackup as an application in a cluster?

 

Any guidance much appreciated.

 

Regards,
