Reboot Master Server without Media Server

Hi,

Just wondering whether you can reboot the Master while the Media server is still doing running backup ? The tape library is connected to the media server.

Thanks.

Hi,

This is not possible.

Although media server is writing to tape, it will not continue to backup if master server goes down.

The netbackup shutdown script should place any active backups in a suspend mode before shutting down. This is necessary because the master server contains the catalog data for the images that the media server is writing to tape. That means there needs to be communication between the media and master servers so active jobs are suspended until netbackup is back online on the master server.
