Netbackup cloud catalyst
Hello Team,
currently we are running on netbackup 8.1 on windows server but we are planning to upgrade it to latest one and also planning to migrate it to Solaris box from windows machine.
is there any EOS os netbackup for solaris in near future?? as i have seen that more organizations and customer are preffering LInux instead of Solaris and also all netbackup appliances are using redhat... i want just confirmation on this . so that we will plan it accordingly whether to go with solaris or Linux. And which one is good to opt Solaris or Linux box and why?
Further,considering few things like.. we are also planning to integrate cloud with netbackup to send data to cloud storage in near future. so considering cloud, what OS would be best to migrate it (Linux or Solaris?).
How we can integrate netbackup cloud catalyst with netbackup. what are the pre-requisites. if anyone can share netbackup cloud catalyst pdf and configuration pdf then it would be very helpful for me.
Best regards,
Dav
HI Dav1234
If you're talking 8.3, then I would strongly suggest going RHEL or CentOS. I would also look at MSDP Cloud (or MSDP-C which is new to 8.3). Although I like Solaris (and in fact cut my teeth using that OS), its days are numbered - I have no knowledge of how long Veritas will continue to support this as a server platform, but I imagine as its use declines it will go the way of HP-UX and AIX and only be supported as a client.
Cloud Catalyst will continue to be supported but it will be depreciated at some future time, MSDP-C is the way to go as it does not require a separate media server to drive it and it has a number of other feature benefits also. The MSDP-C does require RHEL or CentOS as the OS platform - hence a second reason for my original suggestion (a Cloud Cataylst server would also requires a RHEL platform).
Hope this helps
David
