2 MASTER Servers possibility

Hi all,

Is there any chance to create two master servers with os Windows 2012 R2.

Does NBU support 2 Masters with same configuration which will be acting as failover.

Shall we have to buy individual licenses for both masters.

If you want an active/passive configuration, then yes. Netbackup support clustered master server. No need of extra license.

But if you are thinking to use two master servers in active/active configuration, then no it is not supported.

No - you can't run two master server on the same host becasue both instances would fight for port TCP 1556.

Please locate NBU 7.7 manuals in Handy NBU links in my signature, then download NBU HA Guide. Read through this manual carefully to see which methods are supported for a standby master in a non-clustered environment. Clustered master server needs to be setup from initial config or else migrated from standalone by certified catman partner.
