Subject: RE: [Veritas-bu] Device 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
