Note: For information about configuring NetBackup for optimized
duplication or Automatic Image Replication (also referred to as
duplicating images to a remote master server domain), see the
Symantec NetBackup Administrator's Guide .
Task Overview: Setting Up Automatic Image Replication
Setting up Automatic Image Replication (AIR) requires that you first
configure the target (remote) DXi and then the source DXi (see
Figure 144 ). In addition, you must create storage lifecycle policies (SLPs)
in NetBackup that define when the automatic replication occurs and
which backup images are duplicated.
To automatically replicate (duplicate) all data on an LSU to a remote LSU
that resides on a DXi in a different NetBackup domain:
1 On the target system, add the source system to the list of allowed
replication sources (see Adding a Replication Source on page 258).
2 On the target system, create a local OST user (see Manage Users on
page 279).
Caution: On the target system, make sure to create a local user
on the Configuration > OST > Manage Users page.
3
On the target system, create a storage server and LSU to receive the
replicated OST data (see Adding a Storage Server on page 266).
Note: Quantum recommends selecting the Available Capacity
option when creating an LSU for use with Automatic Image
Replication.
4 On the source system, specify the target system that will receive the
replicated data (see Adding a Replication Target on page 251).
5 On the source system, create a remote OST user with the same user
name and password that you used in step 2 above (see Manage
Remote Users on page 283).
