I was planning on adding this option and then run the restore and once
the restore was running commenting out that line and force the master to
reread its bp.conf file.

For restoring that is all you need.

 

For backing up you'd need to point your policy to the storage unit
associated with the other media server.

 

Also some operations will be slow due to timeouts trying to connect to
the media server that is down even though you're not really directing
traffic there.

 

We do the FORCE_MEDIA_RESTORE option all the time to restore our PROD
BCV backups to alternate servers for database refreshes.  It works fine.

nb 5.0 mp7 Solaris 9

 

I have a media server that is down at the moment for maint and I have to
run a restore. Both media servers connected to the same master. All I
need to do is add the force restore statement to the master bp.conf file
and then have the master rereads its bp.conf right?

 

add FORCE_RESTORE_MEDIA_SERVER option in master bp.conf.

FORCE_RESTORE_MEDIA_SERVER = <original media/master> <target
media/master>.  You then have to run bpadm g (global) m (modify) d
(notify request daemon) to reread the bp.conf - this is done on the
master server.
