Cluster Failover
Hello Experts,
We were experiencing issue in one of our master server i.e Win2008. So we moved the netbackup services to Node1. backup ran fine for 2-3 hours and later they were giving the error c...
As per your previous thread about db/media/errors - you had reservation issues - something else was using the drive.
nbrbutil -dump will confirm if NetBackup has a reservation on the drive or tapes already.
If not, power cycle the drives and also check to ensure no other servers not using NetBackup have the drives zoned.
As for you jobs not passing across the nodes, what version of NBU is this?
Is netbackup\db\jobs on the shared disk that floats between the nodes.
The entire netbackup\db should be on the shared disk!!!!
- You need to troubleshoot device errors while master is on node 2. Sounds to me like lack of SCSI3 reservation which is needed in a cluster environment. Probably node 1 still holding reservations if backups were active during failover. Read up about SCSI-3 reservation in Admin Guide 1. You can also check vmoprcmd command on how to release reservation from cmd. Another possibility is incorrect device mappings due to lack of persistent binding. I agree with revaroo. Jobs database should be on shared storage that will failover along with all other db's. Sounds like you need a health check on your cluster install.
