Guys i'm after a bit of backup as am perhaps doubting myself now. I'm having a bit of a row with a CSA (solutions architect) at our company.
A backup design has been done where 2 sites have Solaris clients configured with the same name and ip, and one site is just disconnected from the network. There is a Netbackup Server 6.5.3 (Windows) which backs up the connected clients from site 1. What they want for a DR test is this :- 1. Disconnect the clients from site1 on the network. 2. Enable the network connections of clients on site2 (with same name and ip of site1 clients) 3. Restore to the running Solaris server through netbackup of a client image taken on site 1. My understanding was you wouldn't ever try and restore a whole system from file system based backups to a running solaris OS. Is that correct still? I also can see all sorts of problems having the client names the same and same ips. Arp tables etc. I'd personally have the client names referenced differently in Netbackup regardless of the hostnames which could be the same?
