[Veritas-bu] Does backup data *always* pass through the Master server?

2006-05-03 Thread Richard Hellier
Hi -- a question on data 'routing' in NetBackup: If a machine is a N/B media server and is backing itself up, does the data 'short-circuit' straight from disks - tape/whatever or does it pass across to the master server and then back? Thanks Richard.

No, only META DATA will go to the Master server. Are you using the MUST_USE_LOCAL_DRIVE directive in bp.conf or setting the policy to only use the STU for the specific media server? -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Richard Hellier Sent:

Here's my two cents, I recommend using DNS all the way. We use DNS with short names aliased to the FQDN. I do not recommend using HOST files. They are a nightmare to administer. = Carl Stehman Pepco Holdings, Inc. 202-331-6619 Pager 301-765-2703 [EMAIL PROTECTED]

There is also a vmphyinv command that will mount and scan the tape for its media ID. Might want to look into options for it. As w/ Bobby Below - anything in your Media Pool that has an incorrect Barcode vs Media ID is improperly labeled. -Jonathan -Original Message- From: [EMAIL
