David,

Most of what you show should work.  The only thing that I am not sure about
is whether you can have a separate netbackup domain, ie a separate master
and media server store its volume database information on the BAK01 server.
It is important that the robotic control is done from a single server, and
that is how you have described this scenario.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Thinking outside of the san-box


Okay here's one for the thinkers out there.  I have a 
client that wants to do this, and I think on paper it 
is feasible.  I'd like to know if anyone has tried this 
and what caveats have cropped up as a result.

NBU 3.4 NT Environment
SSO
DELL SANS ( not that this is REAL important but worth 
mentioning)
ADIC 1000 - 12 DLT 8000


This environment will have a master server and three - 
four media servers.

Master Server (BAK01) = Volume DataBase Host
Media1 - MasterServer=BAK01 -  VolHost=BAK01, RC=BAK01
Media2 - MasterServer=BAK01 -  VolHost=BAK01, RC=BAK01
Media3 - MasterServer=BAK01 -  VolHost=BAK01, RC=BAK01

Media4 - MasterServer=BAK02 -  VolHost=BAK01, RC=BAK01
                      ^^^^^            ^^^^^     ^^^^^

*RC=Robotic Control Host

BAK02 is another Master Server in another building.

Can the above be done?

With SSO?

Has anyone done it?

If this doesn't make sense, I have a visio diagram I'm 
finishing up that I can send which may paint a clearer 
picture.

Thanks!!!

David
