issue with ost devices duplicating to tape
I have a single netbackup domain backing up to an hp storeonce OST compatible disk device.The storeonce does not have path to tape capability.
there is a secondary OST device at a remote site but ...
- Netbackup windows master with 6 media servers. M1 to M4 at primary site and M5 and M6 at remote site. Primary site media servers have access to ost storage server and disk pools. Primary site media servers share a tape library. Remote site media servers have access to a secndary ost device. Primary site will backup its local clients to its local ost device. Remote site will backup its local clients to ost device at that site. Slp used to perform optimised duplication between ost devices and another tape copy at primary site only. Slp Backup to Ost-stu Dup to remote ost-stu Dup to tape library-stu (prim site) Secondary slp setup for remote site backups similar to above. As cross site ost replication is taking place all storage servers have to have credential access for all media servers I think specifying an alternate read server for the tape duplication step may be the answer. The alternate media server would be one from the primary site. Or perhaps using the touch file usr/openv/netbackup/db/config/USE_BACKUP_MEDIA_SERVER_FOR_RESTORE Anybody had experience of either in a similar configuration
