Netbackup alternate client in off-host backup method
Hi experts,
I would like to choose an alternate client in off-host backup option for the policy type DB2. in admin guides, simply a sentence "additional confguration is required to choose an alternate client" is written. in addition, disk array presented to primary host need to be presented to alternet client is mentioned.
my questions as below
what kind of additonal configuration is required for an alternate client ? also disk array should be shared to seconday host means, the LUN provided to primary host should be visible to secondary as well ?
apary from above configuration, do i need any other settings/configuration for primary and seconday host ?
please advice.
- It means you need all volumes for db2 need to be mirrored to other volumes on physically separate disk.
You need underlying hardware or software snapshot technology. NBU does not take the snapshot. It sends a message to the snapshot tools to take the snapshot, break off the mirror and present it to the media server or other client.
Maybe this Infoscale (Veritas software technology ) link explains it better than I do:

Most hardware arrays (Dell/EMC, HP, HDS, etc) have similar tools. All at additional cost and hardware (for the mirrors).
