Create a storage unit for a Microsoft cluster

[dz3000]

We have a 4 node Microsoft file cluster running Windows 2003. Each node has Netbackup 6.5 configured installed as a Media server.

We already use the virtual names for the storage units. I want to add a new storage unit and I don't know how these storage units were created.

Hi,

1. On the active node, run the Device Configuration wizard. Create a new storage unit.

2. Move the Netbackup resource group to the passive node.

3. Run the Device Configuration wizard. Create a new storage unit.

See "NetBackup High Availability Administrator’s Guide" P.84

 To configure devices for MSCS, VCS, Sun Cluster, or Service Guard

1. Review the guidelines in the section, “Device Configuration Guidelines.” 

2. On the active node, run the Device Configuration wizard. This wizard will 

automatically discover and configure the devices and create storage units for those 

devices. 

Using the Device Configuration wizard is the recommended method of configuring 

devices.

3. Move the NetBackup group to another node.

4. Refresh the view in the Media and Device Management utility. 

5. Run the Device Configuration wizard. 

6. Continue configuring the devices on each node in the cluster by repeating step3 

through step5.
