Installing and configuring primary NetBackup master server cluster
To install the NetBackup master server cluster follow the instructions that are described in the NetBackup Clustered Master Server Administrator's Guide. Refer following guidelines to install the primary NetBackup master server cluster with catalog replication.
Installing the primary NetBackup master server cluster with catalog replication
- Specify following while installing NetBackup master server cluster on primary node:
Replicated storage as the mount point for the cluster common storage.
All servers that are part of the domain.
Servers that form the secondary 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 Veritas 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, it is a good idea to use this tool to assess the bandwidth requirements before implementing the replication layer. To get a feel for the replication traffic, install and configure the primary master 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 implementing replication to the secondary site.
