About NetBackup SAN Client support for clustering

NetBackup supports SAN Clients in an application cluster. The following are the requirements for the SAN Clients that are in an application cluster:

  • SAN Client must be installed on all failover nodes in the cluster.

  • The FT client service and the Veritas PBX service must run on all failover nodes.

  • The host computer operating system for each SAN client on each node must detect the FT media server target mode drivers.

  • The NetBackup LOCAL_CACHE value must be NO on each SAN Client. By default, the value is not specified, so you must configure the value.

    Warning:

    Do not change the LOCAL_CACHE value on the FT media servers or the primary server.

See Configuring SAN clients in a cluster.

In the backup policy, you can use aliases or dynamic application cluster names for the references to the SAN client computers. NetBackup updates SAN client application cluster information every 5 minutes.
