Re: [Veritas-bu] 2 master servers with netbackup 6.0 MP4

Hi
to all and thanks for the answers.
First
thing, we tried to partition the library and it didn’t work. I mean the second
server was always “seeing” the robotics as controlled by the first server.
Whatever we tried, we didn’t succeed to set it as locally controlled. Should we
try and reinstall the second server? I think this is the best solution... As for
the library partitions, we didn’t manage to assign one partition to a server
particularly, you just create two partitions and the two servers are “seeing”
all the drives. Is it because switch zoning or you could divide the drives
between the two servers as long as you keep the same drive assignment as the
partition’s?
With
the SSO licensing is even worse… J
Both servers can see the robotics and the drives, so zoning isn’t an issue. The
problem is that on both servers the license appears as inactive and when you add
on the second servers the drives they appear as limited because there is no SSO
installed….
Anyways,
the first topology with two master servers and two partitons is the one we would
like to use so we will try to reinstall the second
server….
Thanks
again

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.

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?
