San client and sun solaris global zone

[scerreti]

Hi,

i have to configure backup client in non global zone solaris.

These zones are very big (for me): if i install san client on global zone the non-global zone use FT transport to backup or they use LAN tranport?

Thank you

FT transport depend on FC HBA function, and non-global zone can not cooperate with it.

... to implement a media server in the global zone and the non global zone refer to this for backups. 

I think in this way backup will be faster than a media server in a different server.

If I understand right, files of non-global zones are visible and can be backed up from global zone.

in the non global zone i have oralce db so i need to backup from the local also

So you have got Oracle in local zone. Fine.

That is how we resolved this issue. First, install media server in you global zone, make sure it works well. Next you should install NetBackup client with Oracle extention in your local zone where you have the Oracle instance. You use media server in your global zone to backup you Oracle instance that resides in the local zone. You use TCP/IP loopback as youк transport.
