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 wont 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
