About restoring over the SAN to a host acting as both client server and media server
This type of restore requires the FORCE_RESTORE_MEDIA_SERVER option in the server's bp.conf file.
See the NetBackup Administrator's Guide, Volume I, for details on the FORCE_RESTORE_MEDIA_SERVER option.
The following table describes the phases that are illustrated in the diagram.
Phase | Action |
|---|---|
Phase 1 | Client/media server reads data from tape over the SAN. |
Phase 2 | Client restores the data to disk (disk can be locally attached or on SAN). (Requires use of FORCE_RESTORE_MEDIA_SERVER option in bp.conf file.) |
