Hello,
we have also to move our Netbackup
master server ( 6.5.4) in Solaris 10 ( cluster config) to linux
2.6 Netbackup ( 7.1 ) .
Our plan is very close to your Option
2 .
keep existing Master and catalog to
" archiving" .
Start with a new catalog on linux
cluster config with Netbackup 7.1 with moving step by step policies .

| [Veritas-bu] What to do with our growing
Catalog on the Master server?? |
| |
We have a midsize NBU environment consist of 1 master
and 6 media servers. Windows 32bit NBU7.0.1 backing up around 60-70 TB
per week. Good portion of the data coming from ndmp. Front-end connected
to a VTL and backend to a Spectra....The master catalog has grown to about
450 GB.
We are getting close to a hardware refresh on our master and media servers....
Here is what I was thinking...
Option 1: Just refresh the hardware building a 64bit Windows 2008 server
and keeping everything the same.
1B: instead of keeping the catalog on
a local disk - possibly we can direct connect to one of our filers and
dump the catalog there.
Option 2: Keeping the existing 32bit master and add a new 64bit Windows
2008 Master (using a different name) restore only the policies and start
to run jobs off the new master. Keeping the existing master for restore
purposes. This way I can start a fresh catalog and keep it locally and
will have plenty of space for growth.
Any solid advice is much appreciated, please include why you would choose
one over the other and if you think any potential issues/difficulties with
either option.
By all means if you had similar situation and you resolved it completely
different using a different strategy, please do share as well.
I'm open to new ideas!
thanks in advance!
