About designating a new primary database server and setting up servers in the SAN Shared Storage Option

You can change the SAN Shared Storage Option configuration through Backup Exec Utility (Beutility.exe). This utility lets you designate a new primary database server.

You may wish to replace the primary database server for the following reasons:

  • A newer, faster server has become available.

  • The database server has stopped functioning.

If the current server is functioning, you should consider specifying the current primary server when installing SAN Shared Storage Option to the new system. This will allow you to test the fibre connections before designating a new database server. If the current database server is not functioning, installing the new system as the primary database server is recommended.

Refer to the Backup Exec Utility documentation for more information.
