Hi,
I am looking for some help on configuring Catalog Replication with NetBackup AIR.
Production site: NetBackup 7.6.x configured with AIR
DR site: NetBackup 7.6.x configured with AIR
I have following queries for above configuration:
1. What are the best practices to configure the Catalog replication using AIR?
2. Is it mendatory to have the same hostname for NetBackup Master Server configured at Producation site and the DR site?
3. What steps/actions are required to kick off the restores from NetBackup Master server at the DR site when Production site is down in case of a real disaster.
Thanks,
Darpan

AIR is not really meant for catalog replication.
It is meant for replication of client backups. The remote master then imports the catalog info that is replicated along with the backup data.
So, there is no need for catalog recovery at remote site as remote master is up and running with a copy of production site backups and catalog info.
AIR is done between 2 different master servers with different hostnames.
To restore, you will browse for client backups from source domain and restore to clients at remote site.
