Name
Manage > HighAvailability > Setup — Set up an appliance for a high availability (HA) setup.
SYNOPSIS
Setup NewHostName NewIPAddress
DESCRIPTION
This command is used on a configured media server to configure the HA setup and to include this media server as the first HA node in the setup. During this procedure, the host name and the IP address of the node are elevated as the virtual host name and the virtual IP address. Because of the elevation, you need to assign a new host name and a new IP address to the node.
The virtual host name and the virtual IP address work as the floating pointers in the HA configuration. With this mechanism, you can also access the HA setup with the virtual IP address or the virtual hostname.
After you set up HA with the first appliance, the HA configuration is partially complete. To complete the HA configuration, perform the initial configuration on the partner node and add it to the HA setup. Refer to NetBackup Appliance Initial Configuration Guide for more information.
Note:
This command can only be used on appliance model 5330 and 5340 media servers. Appliance model 52xx primary or media servers and model 5350 media servers cannot be used to run this command.
Note:
The Copilot feature becomes unavailable as a result of configuring an HA setup.
