Testing the NetBackup master server cluster in clustered replication environment

It is recommended to test the ability of the secondary master 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.

Testing the NetBackup master server cluster in clustered replication environment

  1. Suspend replication between the primary and the secondary master server clusters.
  2. Isolate the secondary master server cluster from the network.
  3. Start NetBackup on the secondary master server cluster.
  4. Perform the required validation checks. Ensure that NetBackup is running on the secondary master server cluster.
  5. Stop NetBackup on the secondary master server cluster.
  6. Re-establish network connections on the secondary master server cluster.
  7. Restart the replication.
