Populating the server tables in the NetBackup database
The server tables must be correctly populated in the NetBackup database. Server tables can be populated automatically by failing over the primary server cluster to each node in turn.
To populate the server tables in the NetBackup database
- After the cluster setup on the alternate site is complete, take NetBackup offline on the main site.
- Reverse the replication direction and bring NetBackup online on the alternate site.
Bringing the NetBackup primary server cluster online on a particular node of the cluster automatically adds that node to the list of known servers in the server tables. If there are multiple nodes at the alternate site, you must fail over the primary server to each node.
- After all the member nodes are added, take NetBackup offline from the alternate site.
- Reverse the replication direction and bring NetBackup online on the main site.
