Duplicate secondary image on CAS ( as Private Cloud Server ) directly to attached tape library

This is a follow up from this discussion: https://www-secure.symantec.com/connect/forums/duplicate-secondary-image-cas-directly-attached-tape-...

With private cloud feature enabled on the CAS, we tried the following:

A. Created job template on MMS

   1. Backup to MMS dedup - this step completes successfully.

   2. Add Stage from the first Job > Duplicate to CAS - this step completes successfully.

   3. Add Stage from the second Job > Duplicate to Any Tape Cartridge - this is stuck with status: "Ready, Storage has not been configured for backup exec server."

B. Tried to create job template on CAS and delegated it to MMS

   1. Backup to MMS dedup

   2. Add Stage from the first Job > Duplicate to CAS

   3. Add Stage from the second Job > Duplicate to Any Tape Cartridge - upon clicking OK to save the job template, it prompts: "The Backup Exec server specified and the device/storage devices pool specified do not share any devices."

 

Quoting from the BE private cloud technical brief: "The backup stages that store backup data to the Managed Backup Exec Server at the client side,  copy backup data  to  the Cloud Storage Server at the Managed Services Provider’s site, and copy  backup data  to tape (D2D2T)  can be  easily configured by the Managed Services Provider within a single backup definition.”

Has anyone been able to successfully configure this setup to work?

Thank you in advance for your generous inputs...

Just an update...

After tedious trials on different combinations for creating the job template and configuring the CASO environment, we were able to achieve our goal, finally.

For the benefit of all, here are the steps that worked for us:

C. Tried to create job template on CAS and delegated it to "Any Backup Exec Server"

   1. Update the connection with the MMS to send updates every 10 seconds and send job logs/history upon completion for both successful and failed jobs to the CAS.

   2. Create initial backup job to MMS dedupe pool.

   2. Add Stage from the initial Job > Duplicate to CAS dedupe pool.

   3. Add Stage from the second Job > Duplicate to Robot Library (attached to the CAS). 

Give it some time to complete the three stages and verify from the job logs the source and destination of each stage.

I hope this helps,

Jan
