Hi All:

Am working to try and get a Clustered (SFWHA v4.3 MP1) Exchange Server to 
function as a SAN Media Server (and have the Media Server failover with the 
Exchnage instance).

Here's our setup:

2 Node Cluster SFWHA v4.3 MP1 
Windows 2003 Server (Standard) SP1
MS Exchange 2003 SP2
NBU v6.0 MP4 (SAN Media Server)
MS Echange Agent
SSO enabled and devices properly configured and operable from both cluster 
nodes.

We were told by Symnatec support to add the local cluster node hostnames as 
Media Servers an then to use the NetBackup Virtual Name as the owner of the 
Storage Unit configured for the SAN Media server.

We then setup a policy for Exchange DB backups using the Exchange Virtual 
Server Name (Difffernt Hostname/IP than the NBu Virtual Name) as the client & 
the NBU Virtual Server Name for the Media Server in the Storage Unit and 
configuring the policy to use that SU.

We tried to run a backkup and NBU complained that the SAN Media Server license 
didn't allow you to backup other hosts and errored out.

Other than upgrading the SAN Media Server to a full blown NBU Media server 
license, is there anyway to configure the cluster and/or the NBU policy to work 
successfully with a SAN Media Sever?

Any input or suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
