hi all,
I have 3 master servers.
All NBU appliances. 1 at primary site and 2 at secondary site. say for eg: svr1-primary site, svr2-secondary site, svr3-secondary site.
now the AIR is configured between svr1 and svr2. i want to configure svr3 in such a way that any new clients configured on svr1 replicates both svr3.
Should i configure svr3 as media server to svr2 as master or should i configure svr3 as a separate master altogether?
If there are any technotes or documents that can help me, please provide the same.
Thanks, Anish

AIr works based on NetBackup domain to netbackup domain even though it is actually configured media server to media server
So in domain 1 srv 1 has the credentials for srv 2 added to allow AIR - if you also add srv 3 as well then when jobs run on srv 1 they will go to srv 2 and srv 3 as you cannot select which one they go to - only "remote master"
You can do 1 to many or many to 1 but cannot target otehr domain specifically because once the remote domain is added to a local servers storage server properties it will duplicate to all those listed
With 7.6 this changes to allow you to target AIR to which ever domain you want it to go to.

It is not easy to target AIR in NetBackup 7.5 but this has changed in 7.6 which allows you to specifically target master servers using AIR
So if you have 3 Master servers and already have AIR working for two of them
So to use the third in the way you want will not work as it will replicate to both at the same time
You can do SRV2 to SRV1 and SRV3 to SRV1 but not SRV1 to SRV2 for some clients and SRV1 to SRV3 for other clients
You need to get to 7.6 first to get this ability
