hey guys, A lot of smart people out there, and was hoping to see if anyone could share a bit of info related to the following topic.. We are going to have a 3 node RAC cluster on Solaris 9, running 9206... and we will be using the Veritas Storage Foundation Suite (SFRAC) as well as Clustered File systems.. and we use NetBackup/RMAN to back up the DB's where the host is a media server (Lun presented to node for use of backups to disk)... So now the question(s) 1. Has anyone used a similar infrastructure and used a non-cfs for the LUN presented to the host for the NetBackup Media Server? 2. Has anyone used such a scenario where the storage (forgive me if I offend some vendors out there) does not support a SCSI-3 Persistence Reservation requirement? (SCSI-3 PR is a requirement for the CFS for split brain,etc) 3. Any suggestions based on experience in this space would be helpful. This shouldn't be a new problem. But it will be introducing a new Backup/Recovery perspective within our company.. Thanks in advance!
