Re: [Veritas-bu] Netbackup With Data Domain,
Sunit DDBOOST on FC not possible. Do FC if you want VTL deployments. DDBOOST works at high speed on 10g network. So it depends what you have if you can have 10g connectivity between media servers and DD then go for DDBOOST else go fibre with VTL implementation Also you can not use one DD device as VTL and DDBOOST at the same time.

With NetWorker you can use ClientDirect with FC, too if memory serves me well. However, DDs can't replicate over FC atm, you have to use 1 or 10 gig links to replicate data. Of course you need DD OS 5.4+, DD Boost plug-in 2.6+ and NBU 7.6. Don't forget to check your FC infrastructure with EMC for DD Boost over FC compatibility. EMC pre-sales should pass your configuration through a qualification process, in theory. Best regards, Mikhail On 27/01/2014 8:46 pm, "Sunil Gulati" wrote: Hello, Can we use DDboost feature over FC ? Like I have production and a DR site in my environment. I have data domain & netbackup media servers at both location. I have kept tape library at my primary site for tape outs. I want to use SLP which will run 4 backup jobs (Backup, Replication, Import & duplication) means I'll be replicating my backup images from production site to DR site using DDboost. I want to know if I can use the same over FC ?

Re: [Veritas-bu] Splitting NetBackup Domain to Two
Mike, Thank you for detailed response. At the time of running nbdecomission on mediaB I will move the references to mediaA for future restores in order to determine the tape labels for the restores. For the existing tapes in the library at mediaB I will move all of them to to DONOTOVERWRITE custom pool or simply ship them to iron mountain where most of our tapes are as of now. I am not so sure about AIR as of now coz we are using falconstor for dedupe don't know if that supports that I heard as of now its supported on NBU appliance and PDDO only . How air you doing AIR in your setup ?
