You have to logical libraries…..
Means you have two libraries … one
master controls one and its drives and its tapes, the other master controls the
other library and its drives and its tapes. The NB masters know nothing about
each other, and the virtual libraries know nothing about each other.
If you want two MEDIA servers to
share ONE library, then create one library.
Add it to your master for control,
if your master is also a media server add the drives to the server then to
NetBackup.
If you want both media servers to
share the drives, then on the SAN you Zone the drives to both media servers,
put in the SSO license.
Once zoned the second media server
should also be able to see the drives, add them to the OS, then add the second
media server to share the same drives you added with the first master/media
server.
I am on aix 5.3 and have a TS3310
library that I have done this with.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] 2 master servers with netbackup 6.0 MP4
I have a problem to configure
two master servers with netbackup 6.0 MP4
We
have two AIX 5.3 master servers installed with netbackup 6.0 MP4. The library
is IBM TS3500 with 4 drives, partitioned into 2 logical libraries. The first
server, server1, works ok, but the second one doesn’t. We can install on the
second one the robot as a controlled robot by the first server (the inventory
works fine), but when we get to drives it doesn’t install anything and the
message is “no shared storage option installed”. We have the shared storage
option installed, but on both servers appears as “Feature: share storage option
(inactive)” and “valid: no”. The questions are: 1. did anybody experience
similar problem with the license or maybe it is a configuration issue? 2. is
there any other way to use the two servers independently of one another?
