Veritas NetBackup™ Snapshot Client Administrator's Guide

Preconfiguration for Hitachi

Before running backups, you must configure the arrays and appropriate volumes. Refer to your Hitachi array documentation.

Pair status must be PSUS

After creating volume pairs, you must split each pair and leave the status of the pair at PSUS.

You can use the following CCI command:

   pairsplit -g dg_name -d device_name -l

where dg_name and device_name are the names specified in the CCI configuration file for the primary device.

Configure command devices on NetBackup client and alternate client

The Hitachi command devices must be visible to the NetBackup client as well as to any alternate client. To configure command devices, refer to your Hitachi documentation.
