All,
I hope you can clarify some things for me.
I'm trying to see if there is support to run Netbackup Master/media servers on Solaris LDOM technology, or dynamic domains technology (which exists on the SUN M-series servers).
I know that Solaris containers (local zones) are out of questions by this statement :
Solaris 10 Zone Support: The above support is for base Solaris 10 OS support. A new Solaris 10 feature, "Containers" or "Zones" allows the configuration of global and non-global zones. NetBackup Server is supported only in a global zone. This is due to issues with block-level device support at the Operating System level with non-global zones.
Veritas Infrastructure Core Services (ICS) are only supported in the global zone. This includes packages such as the Veritas Authentication service (VxAT) and the Veritas Authorization Service (VxAZ). Attempts to install these packages in a local zone will fail during the installation.
But I'm still wondering if LDOM and dynamic domains might support Netbackup servers..
We currently have Netbackup 6.5 master and media servers running on separate SUN servers each and we are trying to see if we can consolidate this into a few 'virtual' servers inside one machine.
Appreciate your feedback or experiences with this sort of undertaking.
Thanks!
