Veritas NetBackup™ Clustered Master Server Administrator's Guide

Configuring robotic daemons for monitoring (UNIX/Linux clusters)

By default, robotic daemons do not cause NetBackup to failover if they fail. You can configure robot daemons to failover NetBackup if a daemon fails.

Note:

You must configure robots before you perform the following instructions. Refer to the NetBackup Installation Guide for instructions on how to configure storage devices.

https://www.veritas.com/support/en_US/article.DOC5332

To configure NetBackup to failover if a robotic daemon fails

  1. Configure your robots on each node in the cluster.
  2. Run the following script:
    /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/cluster/cluster_config -r
  3. Choose a (Add).
  4. Select your robot from the list.

    Multiple robots can be selected.

To remove a robotic daemon from monitoring

  1. Run the following script:
    /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/cluster/cluster_config -r
  2. Choose d (Delete).
  3. Select the robot type you want to remove.
