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