Replacing Media Servers NBU 7.7.3
Environment:
Red Hat Linux 7; Netbackup 7.7.3
Master: 2-node VCS cluster
Media Servers: 2 RHEL Media servers with Basic Disk for staging, and PureDisk Deduplication (MSDP)
Question: How do I replace a media sever with new hardware when a deduplication pool is involved? The staging units are easy, tht's all transient data. I could stop throwing jobs at it and let it duplicate off to tape, then we can easliy recreate it on the new media server.
What about the MSDP? How do I go about moving that? The disk is SAN attached disk, so is it as easy as re-mounting it to the new meda server of the same name? Another wrinkle is that it is currently in a Veritas file system which limits us to 16TB, so my UNIX admin wants to put it in a different file system type so we can go larger than 16tb
