Hi Kevin
I do not want to be a downer on Clustering, as I quite like MS
Clustering, but the reason why I would be looking at Clustering the Master is
due to "High Availability" of that application.
However, please bear in mind that if you have 1000+ jobs
running while the Master Cluster fails over, the application will stop. This
will result in potentially failed backups, client timeout / disconnects and the
potential to restart failed jobs if the retry limits been
reached.
Would it be worth considering a seperate Media Server to take
the load off the Master? And using Shared Storage Option (SSO) for access to the
Drives and Library? I do apprecaite it may be more of a cost to the company
(where Clustering is free out of the box), but it is an
option.
Have you read the NetBackup High Availability
Guide?
Regards
Simon
Anybody running a clustered 6.5.x or 7.0 master on Windows
2003 or 2008 with MSCS?
Looking at this option for a new 10,000+ job per night
master.
Any comments are appreciated.
