I just tested it with the TSM server, Windows did not have an issue connecting
to the remote DD as if it was the local one with a simple hosts change. So my
idea of changing the hosts file will work.
The target is read-only, during a test or DR this would be changed. In a test
you would use a
That's fine, but it will fail even though you point the host entry to the DR
box. This is CIFS and the \\hostname\backup has to match the one of the DDR
you're pointing to. By default on the DDR the hostname is the CIFS NBT name
used. You can change the CIFS NBT name to something different (CIFS SE
I do have a setup as you describe, but my TSM servers are AIX hosts using NFS
mounts to the DDR.
In my situation, I just NFS mount up the second DataDomain under the same mount
points and the TSM server has no idea that it's from a different DataDomain.
Not sure how you would do it with a CIF
We are currently building that setup.
We use a hosts entry to point to the DD. The untested plan is to use a hosts
entry to point the DR TSM to the replicated copy and avoid re-pointing the
devclass.
Our connectivity is UNC across a private network.
We are a month or two from the DR testing.
