DR procedures with duplicated backup images
Hello everyone.
I have the following scenario in NetBackup 10.3 environment
Primary Server (FLEX but now BYO for testing): Fails in a disaster.
Media Server 1 (FLEX but now BYO for testing): Located in the same environment as the primary server; also destroyed in the disaster.
Media Server 2 (BYO) - DR Media: Located in a separate location.
SLPs: Configured to send the primary backup copy to Media Server 1 (MSDP) and duplicate to Media Server 2. The same configuration applies to Advanced Disks.
I have a Red Hat server in the DR Media environment, synced with DR packages, and ready to become the new primary server. I've also wrote a script that takes hostname and IP of the destroyed primary server.
Testing the configuration seems successful. However, I cannot recover the catalog during the failover process because the new primary server attempts to restore it from the now-destroyed Media Server 1 (copy 1).
Questions:
1 - How can I configure the new primary server to recover the catalog from Media Server 2 (copy 2)?
2 - Are there specific procedures for this type of disaster recovery scenario?
Thank you so much!!
