I have an environment where I have to replicate the catalog residing over SAN to the secondary site .
Considerations :
1) Have the same name and IP of the netbackup master
2) DR and Primary will be build with the same patch level ( OS & NBU )
3) NIC's for DR will remain disable and will be out of network , build as an stand alone machine .
4) DNS Flush would be done
5) 6- Databases to be replicated to the DR LUN ( */netbackup/db , */db/data , */volmgr/data , */kms , vault and var resp ) Page 58 HA guide .
Questions : ( I am referring to HA guide for Netbackup 7.5 )
1) Pg 57 pt 1 : Its asking to use a DNS alias name for master ( optimus01 is the master and domain is prime so optimus01.prime.com would help ? how ? ) since the plan is to use the same name while configuring .
2) pg 58 pt 5 ( unix ) soft link the following paths to locations on a common volume . Here the common volume is SAN LUN . So i am planning to create 6 volumes in the DISK GROUP of 3 TB LUN to match all data above in them than just linking . I am little messed up here :(
3) pg 60 its asking to modify the vxdbms and server configuration files . What needs the modification and why ?
Please respond as this is a little urgent .
