Configuration on NetBackup Clustered Master Server
You are right in
your process. Run the device configuration on Node A when it is active,
including all your media servers (not the inactive node), fail over to the Node
B and repeat the process. When the server list comes up, you may notice the
actual node name shows in the list, but once you finish the process you will
notice that the storage group should be owned by the cluster name.
NetBackup clustered
master servers only work in an active/passive configuration so you will never
be “sharing” the drives with the second node when it is inactive.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Device
Configuration on NetBackup Clustered Master Server
Folks,
I have just
installed and configured a 6.5 Master Server on Solaris 10 that is also
clustered using VCS. I have done the OS device configuration and
presented my two tape libraries (6 x LTO-4 drives each) to both nodes in the
cluster and am now ready to do device configuration within NetBackup. The
HA guide suggests this is achieved by running the configuration wizard on each
of the two nodes when it is the active member of the cluster and therefore has
NetBackup running.
My question
refers to the fact that I will use SSO to share the drives between the Master
Sever and a number of Media Servers. I am assuming that when the active
node is node A I share the drives between it and the Media Servers and then
repeat the exercise on node B when it is the active node? I did start to
think that when A is the active node I might have to share with B, but B
won’t have NetBackup running certainly as a Master Server, though it does
have the application installed and is known as a Media Server in the
configuration.
Can anyone
straighten me out on this one?
Regards,
Paul Esson
