Re: [Veritas-bu] ISSUES running NBU over VIP

According the released documentation I believe this still to be true, if not please let me know. The assumption is this is an existing master server you are attempting to cluster. If not please explain.

Changing the master server host name is not a trivial task. Media server connectivity is only the beginning when changing the core component "brain" who has the host name stored in the catalog, and configuration files. See the following documents for Symantec recommendations. I'd suggest looking to your VAR or Symantec for scheduling services to accomplish this.

NetBackup server to a failover NetBackup server. Contact Symantec Enterprise

version.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] ISSUES running NBU over VIP

Dear Forum,

I have 2 similar hardware servers with Solaris 10 and NBU is 6.5.5.

Both the servers have physical Ip configured on it.

Ex. 10.66.12.12 & 10.66.12.10

My VIP is 10.66.12.11, but when i configure the VIP on the virtual
interface say ce0:1 and start netbackup, the media servers shows OFFLINE
and I don't see any drives.

Your suggestions/feedback pls.
