Installing and configuring the main NetBackup primary server cluster
To install the NetBackup primary server cluster follow the instructions that are described in the NetBackup Clustered Primary Server Administrator's Guide. Refer following guidelines to install the main NetBackup primary server cluster with catalog replication.
Installing the main NetBackup primary server cluster with catalog replication
- During the installation of the NetBackup primary server cluster on the primary node, specify the following:
Replicated storage as the mount point for the cluster common storage.
All servers that are part of the domain.
The servers that form the alternate site cluster.
- After the NetBackup cluster group is created, reconfigure the storage resources to include the replication control components.
- For some replications layers, for example for Arctera Volume Replicator (VVR), the replication agent must be in a separate service group. You must link the agent with the NetBackup application service group.
- If the replication technology includes a bandwidth planning and analysis tool, use this tool to assess the bandwidth requirements before you implement the replication layer. To estimate the replication traffic, install and configure the main primary server cluster and run backups for a few weeks. Use the analysis tool to measure I/O traffic and plan the replication layer based on the tool's recommendations before you implement replication to the alternate site.
