This option specifies that an automatic failover media server be used if a server is temporarily inaccessible for a restore. This failover does not require administrator intervention.

Where to use | |
How to use | Use the nbgetconfig and the nbsetconfig commands to view, add, or change the option. For information about these commands, see the NetBackup Commands Reference Guide. Use the following format: FAILOVER_RESTORE_MEDIA_SERVERS = failed_host host1 host2 ... hostN
The default is that NetBackup does not perform automatic failover. When automatic failover is necessary for a server, NetBackup searches from left to right through the associated FAILOVER_RESTORE_MEDIA_SERVERS list. It stops when it finds one that is eligible to perform the restore. Note: The configuration file can contain multiple FAILOVER_RESTORE_MEDIA_SERVERS entries and each entry can list multiple servers. However, a NetBackup server can be a failed_host in only one option. After a FAILOVER_RESTORE_MEDIA_SERVERS option is added, stop and restart the NetBackup Request daemon on the primary server where you plan to change the configuration. |
