Hi all.

 

Does anyone have any rough figures on the time it takes for the script to complete the work, and the media agent become available again?

I have 6 Hyperscales in a block, with about 300TB of backup data on the block and am just wondering how long Activity will have to be disabled for.

Running the ./cvsecurity.py enable_protection -i InstanceID script should only take a few minutes. Time taken to reboot is a little harder to estimate. It will run the script, stop the cluster and unmount it and all the disks, then start the cluster and remount everything.

It would be best to run the script 1 node at a time, if it completes without errors move to the next and run it. Once it is ran on all 6 nodes, then you can reboot all at the same time. That way it will minimize downtime, instead of doing 1 at time. But up to customer, I know some people like to be on the cautious side.
