You are right in your process. Run the device configuration on
Node A when it is active, including all your media servers (not the inactive
node), fail over to the Node B and repeat the process. When the server list
comes up, you may notice the actual node name shows in the list, but once you
finish the process you will notice that the storage group should be owned by
the cluster name.
NetBackup clustered master servers only work in an
active/passive configuration so you will never be “sharing” the
drives with the second node when it is inactive.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Device Configuration on NetBackup Clustered Master
Server
Folks,
I
have just installed and configured a 6.5 Master Server on Solaris 10 that is
also clustered using VCS. I have done the OS device configuration and
presented my two tape libraries (6 x LTO-4 drives each) to both nodes in the
cluster and am now ready to do device configuration within NetBackup. The
HA guide suggests this is achieved by running the configuration wizard on each
of the two nodes when it is the active member of the cluster and therefore has
NetBackup running.
My
question refers to the fact that I will use SSO to share the drives between the
Master Sever and a number of Media Servers. I am assuming that when the
active node is node A I share the drives between it and the Media Servers and
then repeat the exercise on node B when it is the active node? I did
start to think that when A is the active node I might have to share with B, but
B won’t have NetBackup running certainly as a Master Server, though it
does have the application installed and is known as a Media Server in the
configuration.
Can
anyone straighten me out on this one?
Regards,
Paul Esson
