Netbackup+Oracle

[Sirop]

Dear All.

We have the following situation:

Backup server license NetBackup Enterprise Server 7.1;

Client A NetBackup Standard Client 7.1;

Client B NetBackup Enterprise Client 7.1;

Tape library with optical interfaces, connected to the network SAN, Ethernet;

Client A copies its Oracle database on the tape library  through the backup server over Ethernet;

Client B copies its Oracle database on the same tape library  directly over  SAN;

Client B recovers the database Oracle, copied client A. Recovery, unfortunately, is done through the backup server over Ethernet. Need to get the client B to recover the data over SAN.

Please help.

Sirop - No one will be able to help you with a request like this. I suggest you partner with a Netbackup consultant in you're area.

So, Client B is a SAN media server?

Client A is a normal LAN client?

You want to restore Client A's data to Client B using the SAN?

If my understanding is correct, see below...

NBU will always direct the restore to the media server that performed the backup.
To restore via another media server (Client B) you need to do one of 2 things:

Force all restores for Media Server that backed up Client A to Client B.
Use Host Properties -> Master -> General Server -> Media host override.

Identify all media required for the restore and assign ownership to Client B:
bpmedia -m <media-id> -oldserver <Media-server> -newserver <Client B>
