Hi Michael

1) You need to add the catalog paths for the media server to the Netbackup 
catalog backup configuration on master server:

media_server_name:/usr/openv/netbackup/db/media
media_server_name:/usr/openv/volmgr/database
It's well documented in NB administration guide ;)

2) Your tapes can belong to the same pool

3) 'DEVICE_HOST = hostname' entries in vm.conf specifies the hosts that are 
included in the device hosts list for the media and device management interface.

Regards,
         Daniel.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] SSO and Catalog Backup

Hello EveryOne

        I have an SSO environment with a Sun Solairs Master and a Media
        Server of AIX.

        Do I need to backup the Catalog on the Media Server and the Master
        Server?
        My Master Server is the vmd/DA host

        Also, I understand a specific tape can only belong to one Media
        Host, what about the Volume Pools? Should the tape "belongs"
        to the volume pool that is under that specific Media Manager in
        the GUI


        One more Question: Every Time I open the Media and Device Manager,
        I have to manually add the device host to the GUI, is there a way
        to it added as default and "show up" everytime when I open it


        Thank you very much for your help


                Mike
