Assigning an alternate media server as a failover restore server
You can assign another media server to act as a failover restore server for your media server. If your media server is unavailable during a restore, the failover restore server takes its place.
To assign an alternate media server as a failover restore server
- In the NetBackup web UI click Hosts > Host properties.
- Select the primary server.
- If necessary, click Connect. Then click Edit primary server.
- Click Restore failover.
- Click Add.
- In the Media server field, specify the media server for failover protection.
- In the Failover restore servers field, specify the media servers to try if the server that is designated in the Media server field is unavailable. Separate the names of multiple servers with a single space.
- Click Add.
- Click Save.
Before the change takes effect, you must stop and restart the NetBackup Request Daemon on the primary server where the configuration was changed.
