Solstice backup remote storage node configuration
2007-12-24 20:14:00
Here is my configurations.
Solstice Server: riley has DLT
Solstice Clients: monroe
Solstice Clients: green
Until now, both monroe and green clients were backing up on Server ( Riley's
) DLT. Which works great.
Now, we bought another DLT for machine monroe which is attached to monroe (
/dev/rmt/2hbn)
I would like to start use monroe's DLT to backup monroe's data.
Solstice Server will be still riley, but I will be adding remote storage
device which is physically attached to monroe ( /dev/rmt/2hbn)
Here are the step that I am following.
1. We bought a license for storage node ( OK)
2. I tried to add the remote storage node using nwadmin program on
"riley"
Media ----> Devices -----> add another device called
rd=monroe:/dev/rmt/2hbn
I see two devices in Device GUI ( OK)
3. I need to create a POOL called "monroe_pool", and enabled it ( OK)
4. I initialize one media that will go with this pool, but It won't let
me initialize the volume to go with this POOL,
I need to unmount my original local device ( /dev/rmt/0hbn), so I
can start mount my remote device called rd=monroe:/dev/rmt/2hbn
I unmount the riley's local devices, but I am getting following message
Notice:0
Server is busy, please retry request.
It won't let me initialize add another media into this POOL.
Now on my Nwadmin GUI,
I get the following messages:
/dev/rmt/ohbn dlt(unmounted) Monitoring
device, moving backup 2 file(s)
rd=monroe:/dev/rmt/2hbn dlt( unmounted)
Can someone point me a direction what is going on.
I will summarize it.
Thanks
