Updating Restore-Only Machines After Catalog Information Is Updated

Only one CA VM:Backup service virtual machine can have read/write access to the catalog minidisk. Use this service virtual machine to run backups and the automatic catalog condense/discard process. When you run one of these processes, CA VM:Backup updates the catalog minidisk. After you execute a command that updates the CA VM:Backup catalogs, you must update your restore-only mode CA VM:Backup service virtual machines to allow them access to updated catalog information. Unpredictable results may occur if your restore-only machines do not have access to the updated catalog information.

To gain access to updated information on the catalog disk, simply restart the CA VM:Backup server.
