I'm working some test cases for DR of a pair of BE3600 appliances. One is setup as Central Admin Server and the other is Managed Backup Exec server. They each have a dedup storage and shared with the other server.
Anyone knows what are the proper procedures for doing DR in a CASO environment?
1) If CAS is down, I found that Backup Exec services won't even start on MBE !? I tried to follow the steps in a KB(TECH202149) which runs the setup wizard to change the MBE to a "Locally managed server" but that won't work (after reboot all BE services still not able to start). So what I need to do to get MBE running without a CAS? (is it possible?)
2) If MBE is down, how to remove it from CAS while the MBE is unreachable? When it is back, do I simply re-configure it as a new MBE to the CAS?
Thanks.
