Configure Backup FT Cluster.

Hello

I am setting up a Backup Cluster via FT. However the startar is not started via FT but via LAN.

What could be?

Client version: 7.5.0.6
Master version: 7.5.0.7

Registering the SAN client virtual cluster name is okay.

Nbftclnt service is online and configured on both nodes of the cluster.

Tks.

    Above look OK.

    Verify in device manager under removable devices if tape drives named "archive python" show up.

    If they do try re-starting nbftclnt service and re-try the backup operation.

    If not, use a sansurfer (qlogic) or alike to verify if the FC HBA can see the devices.

    If devices are not showing on a FC level re-check zoning.

    Best Regards

    What is the OS on the "backup cluster" ?

    You say "backup cluster" but Nbftclnt is the service running on  a Netbackup client. I guess you have a clustered Netbackup client or am I wrong in that assumption ?

    Yes,

    I have a Windows Cluster. And I need to back up the same route FT.

    Installed and configured on the client's legs cluster.Porem to start the backup is not done via FT but via LAN.

    And you Netbackup FTL server is either a Solaris or Linux box ?

    Does the "ARCHIVE Python" appear on the client device list ?

    Please provide the output from these two command from the Netbackup FTL server:

    nbftconfig -listclients -verbose
    nbftconfig -listtargets -verbose
     
    FTL server support is documented in NBU 7.X HCL page 212:
