Setting up NetVault Backup Native Virtual Tape Library on the Dell™ DR4X00 Disk Backup
Appliance

Appendix B

Configure DR4X00 replication for

NetVault backup for nVTL

This section details the process for changing the device path to a nVTL that has been
replicated from one DR4X00 to a secondary DR4X00. This process will show the steps to
complete this for a CIFS mounted DR4X00 container that has a NVBU nVTL configured on
a primary DR4X00 and is being replicated to a secondary DR4X00.

With the existing NVBU nVTL that is on a container on the first DR4X00, use the DR4X00
replication utility (UI or CLI) to replicate the container to the secondary DR4X00.

See

DR4X00 Admin Guide

for reference on Setting up DR4X00 replication

.

It is

recommended to use the same name as the Source Container for the Target Container on
the second DR4X00. This will allow for a simple change of the DR4X00 name in the
device path in the NVBU diskdevice config file.

Once the DR4X00 container replication is completed (INSYNC), delete the container
replication and add CIFS permission connections to the replicated container on the
second DR4X00. Verify that the new container can be opened by the UNC path by the
NVBU server.

On the NVBU server, edit the diskdevices config file under C:\Program Files (x86)\Quest
Software\NetVault Backup\config
. Change the Library and drive paths to the second
DR4X00 container.

Screen 1 show the existing diskdevice config file for the nVTL on the first DR4X00.
