Forcing restores to use a specific server
Use the following procedure to force restores to use a specific server.
To force restores to use a specific server
- If necessary, physically move the media to the host to answer the restore requests, then update the Enterprise Media Manager database to reflect the move.
- Modify the NetBackup configuration on the primary server. Add the original backup media server and the restore server to the Media host override list in the General Server host properties.
- Stop and restart the NetBackup Request Daemon (bprd) on the primary server.
This process applies to all storage units on the original backup server. Restores for any storage unit on the Original backup server go to the server that is listed as the Restore server.
To revert to the original configuration for future restores, delete the line from the Media host override list.
