Anyone ever cluster Netbackup?

[glaserc]

Hello all.

I am looking for some sort of HA or clustered solution for my netbackup environemt. basically, I would like the NBU master server (which also serves as one of hte media managers) to have a hot spare in waiting if something happens to the primary. currently, the master server controls both robotic libraries and houses several LTO gen 2 tape drive in one of the libaries.

Netbackup Enterprise Server 6.0 MP4
Solaris 10
Sun Fire T2000

anyone ever seen something like what I am asking about?
thx n advnce : )

You can easily cluster the Master Server with Veritas Cluster Server. There is a NBU agent that will handle all of the NBU failover for you. It works great.

Check out the following guide for more information:
