NBU Master Media Server Merging


Dear All,

i have one NBU Master/Media/Emm 6.5.4 on SUN Sparc, Solaris 5.10

i want to add a Media Server to the existing environment?

i was looking in to the other forums related to this? but got no specific solution/method ?

kindly correct me, if i am wrong?
what i got from the previous forums, on the other machine which i want to make a Media Server , i do a ./install of NBU setup and continue with that.
  • Installation of media server was incorrect:

    Would you like to use "ddbbackup" as the configured
    name of the NetBackup server? [y,n] (y) n

    Enter the name of the NetBackup server: pdbbackup

    Is pdbbackup the master server? [y,n] (y)

    The 1st answer should have been Y
    Would you like to use "ddbbackup" as the configured
    name of the NetBackup server? [y,n] (y)  y

    The question after the y answer would have been:
    Is ddbbackup the master server? [y,n] (y)  n

    It would then prompt you for the name of the master server...

    You might be able to fix everything by editing bp.conf on the media server.

    The entries should look like this:

    SERVER = pdbbackup
    SERVER = ddbbackup
    CLIENT_NAME = ddbbackup

    Also check bp.conf entries on master. Should look like this:

    SERVER = pdbbackup
    SERVER = ddbbackup
    CLIENT_NAME = pdbbackup


    The fact that you manually added SERVER entry to master's bp.conf and restarted NBU was enough. The nbemmcmd command can be used in a 24x7 environment where you cannot stop/start NBU on the master.

    Restart NBU on Master and Media after confirming that all bp.conf entries are correct.

    Also verify on media server that emm server entry is correct (set to master server):
    /usr/openv/volmgr/bin/vmglob -get_gdbhost
