What's the best practice on moving the NBU master catalog to an NFS mount or a SAN share? With all the drama going on around our catalog size and the new Isilon, I'm beginning to wonder if we'll out grow out current master servers local disk soon. I'll be digging through Symantec PDFs, but

What’s the best practice on moving the NBU master catalog to an NFS mount or a SAN share? I would be careful to not put my catalogs on the same storage array(s) as the data that I'm backing up. The same failure that loses your data would also compromise your ability to restore it.

Agreed, in our case catalog's go to email, tape (onsite and offsite) and a network file system. Backup images go to Tape (onsite and offsite) and Data Domain. -Original Message- From: veritas-bu-boun...@mailman.eng.auburn.edu [mailto:veritas-bu-boun...@mailman.eng.auburn.edu] On

Nick, 1) Be sour that you have shared the drives (or a drive) to both servers at the SAN level so both systems OS can see the drives. 2) Configure the Solaris sg drives, if needed 3) Add the SSO license to both servers 4) Run the device configuration wizard from the GUI

Unless I misunderstood your reply, you do not want to store your live catalog on the same external storage array as the one that houses the other production data (Email, fileshares, etc.). For best practices, common sense is probably the most applicable here. Raid 10 will have best performance,

In point of fact it only says NO to NFS/CIFS.The original question also asked about SAN as well and I don’t know of any prohibition against that but as others have noted you’d want to make sure the disk array used is backed up to other locations because if the array fails you’d lose both

I am fairly certain SAN LUNs are explicitly supported and infact that allows one of the new DR protections for the master made available for 7.0. I have it bookmarked at the office. On 11/15/2011 4:11 PM, Lightner, Jeff wrote: In point of fact it only says NO to NFS/CIFS.The original

Hello, I you want to do it yourself, you have two options. A. Switch the hardware. B. switch the hostnames and reinstall netbackup on both systems. Do a netbackup catalog recovery to the new master. If you have to keep the hostnames, your only option is to call Symantec. Stefanos
