Dear community,

I’m tasked to implement DB2 DPF database backup, When I reviewed the documentation and I wonder why it’s required to install media agent package beside DB2 Agent and what is the impact if i don’t install media agent ?

Thanks for your support

Hi @Ahmed Elbably ,

Can you please share the doc link where MediaAgent is mentioned as required package for DB2 DPF? We will review it.

Usually, MediaAgent package is required when you plan to run IntelliSnap backups as MA is a required dependency for Snap backups.

 

Thanks,

Sunil

Dear @Sunil 

Thanks for your reply,

 please review the following article

https://documentation.commvault.com/2023e/expert/getting_started_with_db2_multinode_agent.html

It’s mentioned in step3 to install DB2 agent and mediaagent

Got it. MA is required only if you are planning to use Snap backups. If not, MA is not mandatory package.

We will get the documentation corrected to indicate this is not mandatory.

 

Thanks,

Sunil-

Thanks @Sunil for your support.

Already logged a case with the support (#241104-178) and they replied that MA package is only required for Intellisnap backups and can be ignored.

 

Thanks again for interest.
