To force restores to go to a specific server
1.
If necessary, physically move the media to the host that will be answering the restore requests, then update the Enterprise Media Manager database to reflect the move.
2.
Modify the NetBackup configuration on the master server by adding the original backup media server and the restore server to the Media Host Override list in the General Server host properties.
3.
Stop and restart the NetBackup Request Manager service on the master server.
This applies to all storage units on the original backup server. That is, restores for any storage unit on the server listed as the Original backup server will now go to the server listed as the Restore server.
To revert to the original configuration for future restores, delete the line from the Media Host Override list.
Questions:-
Im running netbackup 6.0 MP7 on Solaris 10 and required to perform a restore a tape media from a windows media server.
I'm required to configure the media host override inorder to perform it.
As mentioned on the admin guide unix volume one a stop and restart of Netbackup request manager service is required .
But i do have jobs running during the reconfiguration time . Can i perform # /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd/bprdreq -rereadconfig instread?
If not , how can i restart just the netbackup request manager service and wat is the impact when there is still running jobs ?
Please advise urgent ?
