Installing and configuring non-clustered NetBackup primary server with catalog replication

The installation and configuration of non-clustered NetBackup primary servers with catalog replication progresses through multiple stages which are described inTable: Installing and configuring non-clustered NetBackup primary server with catalog replication

Note:

VxSS or NBAC is not supported with catalog replication for non-clustered primary servers. For more information about NetBackup Access Control (NBAC), refer to the NetBackup Security and Encryption Guide.

Step

Description

Stage 1

Make sure that you meet all the conditions of support before proceeding with the actual installation.

See About conditions for support of replicated NetBackup catalogs.

Stage 2

Install and configure the non-clustered NetBackup primary server on the main site.

See Installing and configuring the main NetBackup primary server.

Stage 3

Install and configure the non-clustered NetBackup primary server on the alternate site.

See Installing and configuring an alternate NetBackup primary server.
