Should I use the same storage for OS part and Backup DB part?
We are trying to set up Linux server for the backup server, and are using NetApp storage for the both OS part and Backup data part. We have two different type of stroage both from NetApp. One is FAS which has a lot of storage based functions, and support NFS, SnopShots, DR replications. The other one is E-series has less functions and primarily for the backup data images. Should I seperate OS and Data part , one on FAS, and the other on E, or does that matter.

I have been involved in a task to move backups to Netbackup Appliances in our estate. For the first time I am seeing a very strange problem which is stopping me to configure a media server to a master server. The errors is : Appliance> Media x - [Info] Checking the pre-requisites... - [Info] Validating the network configuration. - [Info] Checking if external storage is present. - [Info] Validating master server name 'x'.

There are numerous things which have been tried here inclusing removing the DNS Entries for these servers from DNS and making Local Hosts entry on our master/media servers. nbemm logs are attached below on high verbosity though it doesn't says much. Any Clue techis ? Symantec case has been raised but just wondering if you guys have ever experienced this issue.Solved877Views0likes1CommentAppliance 5230/Media server/BMR

Hi, We have an test Amazon S3 compatible environment what doesn't run on standard port 80 or 443. Using wizard, under advanced configuration, I can change the storage server endpoint hostname, but no option to change port number. Is there a command line option to add cloud storage server configuration where I can specify custom endpoint hostname/ip and port number? Any pointer will be highly appreciated.
