Testing the NetBackup primary server cluster in clustered replication environment
It is recommended to test the ability of the alternate primary server cluster to come online without going through a full failover operation. In case of a full failover, the exact procedure can vary for different replication technologies.
Following procedure provides the high-level steps that must be followed for testing.
To test the NetBackup primary server cluster in clustered replication environment
- Suspend replication between the main and the alternate primary server clusters.
- Isolate the alternate primary server cluster from the network.
- Start NetBackup on the alternate primary server cluster.
- Perform the required validation checks. Ensure that NetBackup is running on the alternate primary server cluster.
- Stop NetBackup on the alternate primary server cluster.
- Re-establish network connections on the alternate primary server cluster.
- Restart the replication.
