Virtual Cluster backup using virtual media
I read the post again and felt it is not clear :(
is it possible to make policy storage dynamic for the same policy? for example if the active node for a cluster is NODE_A use Media_A and if NODE_B is the active use MEDIA_B ?
Hello everybody,
I have two questions on virtual media server, if you could help please J
- Is it possible to use virtual ( or physical) media server ( tape backup) to backup virtual IBM cluster ( IBM power)
- How is it possible to use virtual media ( tape backup) to backup all virtual servers in one platform ( IBM)
I've read the Statement of Support for NetBackup 7.x in a Virtual Environment ( Virtualization Technologies ): http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH127089
but it did not answer my concerns :(
Thanks
Hi
Still not clear on WHY you want to do this but you can do the following.
In your cluster (if it works like VCS and is a good cluster product :p) you should be able to have triggers (the ability to run scripts when the clustered application group starts up). You can use such triggers to do one of the following
- Update the storage unit in the policy based on the active node (uses 1 policy)
- Activate / Deactivate a policy based on the active node (uses 2 separate policies, 1 for each location)
