[Veritas-bu] /usr/openv on NFS
from a DR standpoint it would make more sense to keep the EMM database on a local drive. It's a pretty lightweight SyBase back-end and locally attached drives do fine. Do nightly Catalog backups and send the catalog backup to the NAS. While you say if the NAS goes down you've got bigger problems, I would argue that you are compounding them by completely losing your catalog and having to rebuild it by importing tapes (depending on the media type anywhere from an hour to eight hours PER TAPE) You don't want your master server dependent on other systems for the catalog and you don't want you catalog backup dependent on your master server. +-- |This was sent by ejtanneh...@yahoo.com via Backup Central. |Forward SPAM to ab...@backupcentral.com. +-- ___ Veritas-bu maillist - Veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu http://mailman.eng.auburn.edu/mailman/listinfo/veritas-bu
[Veritas-bu] /usr/openv on NFS
So, anyone ever do this? Install your NBU master onto an NFS share for /usr/openv? I'm looking to do this with v6.5.3 and was curious if anyone else has tried it. I would have a 1Gig link so I'm thinking it'll be just fine performance wise... ___ Veritas-bu maillist - Veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu http://mailman.eng.auburn.edu/mailman/listinfo/veritas-bu
Re: [Veritas-bu] /usr/openv on NFS
It would be from a NAS array and if that tanks then I've got bigger problems. But that's what replication to a different array is for.

Thank you very much for this information, SAN it is (although this is damn ridiculous if you ask me).
