Re: [Veritas-bu] Non Cluster failover

Start with reverse engineering the cluster config scripts that NetBackup uses to setup the Master in a clustered environment.

You will want to use a CNAME entry for any systems that reference services running on the Master. That way in the event of DR you can change the CNAME to point to the DR hostname. Similarly, you will need to add the real DR hostname to the client and media server configurations to enable the DR host to initiate connections and authenticate as required.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Non Cluster failover

Hi, As part of my first forays into NBU , as well as trying to get VCB working J I’m also trying to set up failover. Trouble is for this system, our day-to-day support team have specified they do not want a clustered master. Not being that experienced in NBU or AIX it’s a nice big learning curve for me J We’ll be running AIX and NBU 6.5 so I was thinking maybe have /usr/openv as it’s own LUN on the primary master and a /usr/openv LUN on the secondary . Install on the primary and install on the secondary . Then stop the services on the secondary , and set up a mirror from the primary, overwriting the secondary ( we’ll be using DS8K’s & metro-mirroring) then in a dr, remount the secondary . Would this work and what configs changes would be required eg to get emmserver working etc The set up will be two sites, AIX with a media server in both sites , and possibly a w2k3 media server in both sites too , master at one and failover master at the other
