Server Crashed where Symantec application was installed.

Dear All,

We are sing symantec backup exec, the application was installed on 2008 windows server. A couple of days before our server was crashed on which our symantec backup application was installed. We are taking backup on tapes through this one.

I am looking for solution that how can I install this application on other server to make my taped again online as I need some backup urgently and it is also critical as we are unable to take all backups including our Exchange Server.

Thanks in Advance

 

  • No, you can't use IP to connect to the other server, nor can you share it and connect via that.

    You need to either put the SAS or SCSI card (depending on what it is!) from the old server into the new server and then connect the cable from the drive to that, or buy a compatible card and do so.

    If this was a fibre channel card, then you'd simply zone the library and new media server to see each other (assuming the new server had a fibre channel HBA) and go from there.

    If you can't remove the card from the old server and put it into the new, then you need to buy a card...nothing more can be done until that library is connected.

    Thanks!
