VERITAS NetBackup 5330 Configuration Manual page 53

Performing the initial configuration on a NetBackup 5330 appliance from the NetBackup Appliance Shell Menu
Multihomed clustered master
server
Note: If the host name of the master server is an FQDN, Veritas recommends
that you use the FQDN to specify the master server for the media server.
Note: After the role configuration completes, the storage initialization process
begins. Depending on the number of disk drives in the system, storage
initialization can take up to 46 hours to complete. As a result, appliance backup
and restore performance is degraded until the storage initialization process
has completed.

When the storage initialization process begins, the disk storage prompts appear
for the AdvancedDisk and the Deduplication (MSDP) partitions.
To configure storage partitions, you must do the following:
Enter a storage pool size in GB or TB.
■
To skip the storage pool size configuration for any partition, enter 0 when
prompted to enter a size. To keep the storage pool at its current size, press
Enter.
Enter a disk pool name.
■
The default names are dp_adv_<hostname> for AdvancedDisk and
dp_disk_<hostname> for Deduplication (MSDP). To keep the default names,
press Enter.
Enter a storage pool name.
■
The default names are stu_adv_<hostname> for AdvancedDisk and
stu_disk_<hostname> for Deduplication (MSDP). To keep the default names,
press Enter.
The storage prompts appear in the following order:
In this scenario, the master server is in a cluster and
has more than one host name that is associated with it.
Veritas recommends that you list the cluster name first,
followed by the active node, and then the passive nodes
in the cluster. This list requires you to separate the node
names with a comma. The following is an example of
how the command would appear.
Media MasterClusterName,ActiveNodeName,
PassiveNodeName,MasterNet1Name,MasterNet2Name
To prevent any future issues, when you perform the
appliance role configuration, Veritas recommends that
you provide all of the associated master server names.
