IF the tape expires, it goes into scratch... A job will grab the tape and try to write! NO NO NO! You cannot write to me as I am write protected! Netbackup reports error!

We've got a single Solaris master server today and will obviously be putting a Solaris backup server at the DR site. We will also have a tape library there that will be doing regular backups as well as handle any disaster recovery restorations. Should I do a global cluster configuration for NetBackup? If not, and I configure the 2nd server as just a media server, how do I promote it to be a master? What support mechanisms are there to keep the catalog up to date at the DR site?

Re: [Veritas-bu] Disaster recovery configuration
We have are a small company. We only have 1 Master Server with 14 clients. Our master server runs on Solaris. This is what we do for our cold dr process(no available hardware) and our warm dr process(availible hardware). Protecting the server == Solaris allows you to create an image (or flash archive) of your server. We create the flash archive(down all the daemons) and burn it onto a Dual Layer DVD. The Solaris OS Installer is what allows you to apply the flash archive to a server. After the system is booted we run tpconfig and fix up what broke. Works great for Solaris 8 and 10. Protecting the Clients == We run BMR. It's a great product for moving servers around. The only issue we have is the lack of support for Solaris 10 BMR clients. It's great for moving servers onto different hardware. We currently don't have a HOT DR solution. It sounds like that is what your trying to do. I'd love to hear what you come up with.

[Veritas-bu] NDMP question (drive sharing)
I've been crawling the NDMP manual for an hour but haven't found a black-and-white answer yet. I have a number of Netapp Filers and we're looking at implementing NDMP backups (we currently just backup NFS mounts). I know I cannot share a set of drives between my NDMP hosts my other media servers. We're OK with the idea of carving out a set of drives exclusively for NDMP backups (yes, I know about v6.0 - we're not quite ready to convert yet). What I can't figure out is if a single SAN-connected drive can be shared directly with more than one filer. I can see that if I do a 3rd-party NDMP backup, the a single NDMP host can be used to backup the others. I'd rather not load one filer or media server with the backups of another. I'd like the blocks to go as directly to media as possible. The drive setup seems to specify which NDMP host has direct access to the drive, I guess to do what I want, I'd have to define the same robotic drive on more than one NDMP host. My initial goal is to remove 4 drives from my regular drive config share them between the 7 filers, each grabbing any drive as required. Baring this, an option would be to define a directly attached drive for each filer, utilizing more drives, then build storage unit groups where each filer would use their own storage unit first, failing to another 3rd-party host only if their drive is already too busy. So, can NDMP storage units be grouped? For those with v6.0, are your SSO sharing your drives with your filers and how's it working out? -M +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ Mark Donaldson - Systems Administrator - 303-664-2040 Corporate Express - Broomfield, Colorado +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ We have enough youth.

Re: [Veritas-bu] Disaster recovery configuration
EdI haven't played with NBU clustering but it sounds like an interesting option.To promote the media server to a master, you'd effectively have to rename the server to the master's name and recover the catalog. You'd lose any mediadb info from the media server, but you would still be able to recover from the media server's tapes I believe - just not write new backups to them.Have you considered making the NBU server at the DR site the Master and demoting your existing master to a media server? I have seen this done before and it certainly makes DR faster and easier. Cheers,DeanOn 12/10/05, [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: We have are a small company. We only have 1 Master Server with 14 clients. Our master server runs on Solaris. This is what we do for our cold dr process(no available hardware) and our warm dr process(availible hardware). Protecting the server == Solaris allows you to create an image (or flash archive) of your server. We create the flash archive(down all the daemons) and burn it onto a Dual Layer DVD. The Solaris OS Installer is what allows you to apply the flash archive to a server. After the system is booted we run tpconfig and fix up what broke. Works great for Solaris 8 and 10. Protecting the Clients == We run BMR. It's a great product for moving servers around. The only issue we have is the lack of support for Solaris 10 BMR clients. It's great for moving servers onto different hardware. We currently don't have a HOT DR solution. It sounds like that is what your trying to do. I'd love to hear what you come up with.

One of the things I don't yet know how to configure is NetBackup. We've got a single Solaris master server today and will obviously be putting a Solaris backup server at the DR site. We will also have a tape library there that will be doing regular backups as well as handle any disaster recovery restorations. Should I do a global cluster configuration for NetBackup?
