We have a 2-node vcs cluster, both installed as NBU san media sever.
db1 (NBU 6.5.4)
db2 (NBU 6.5.4)
NBU_master (7.6.0.3
nbu5220 (2.6.0.3)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I used nbemmcmd command to create a app_cluster: db-cluster
nbemmcmd -addhost -machinename db-cluster -machinetype app_cluster
nbemmcmd -updatehost -add_server_to_app_cluster -machinename DB1 -machinetype media -netbackupversion 6.5 -clustername db-cluster -masterserver NBU_master
To use the virtual_name of app_cluster as the NBU client, a STU using virtual_name as media server needs to be created.
But, IF I want to use the MSDP pool of nbu5220 to backup the app_cluster with virtual_name, NO STU associated with virtual_name can be created.
Is there any way to use Netbackup Appliance (NBU5220) to backup app_cluster with virtual_name?
1)Transforming db1/db2 from san media servers to san clients, should be feasible?
2) Since we still need to use the Tape Library, and don't want to make them san clients. Any other way?
Thanks.
