Adding multiple primary servers
The NetBackup primary server is registered with Access Appliance during NetBackup client configuration so that it can communicate with the Access Appliance. If necessary, you can add multiple primary servers with the same NetBackup client.
To add an additional NetBackup primary server
- Add an additional new NetBackup primary server to the existing client configuration. Required certificates of the new primary server are generated as part of this command.
Backup> netbackup primary-server add auth_token primary_server [primary_ip]
primary_server
FQDN of the primary server
auth_token
Authorization token to generate th host ID based certificates
primary_ip
IP address of the primary server. This is optional field when the primary server is not resolvable to the FQDN,
To delete a NetBackup primary server
- Remove a primary server from the existing client configuration.
Backup> netbackup primary-server del primary_server
where primary_server is the FQDN of the primary server.
CA and host ID certificates for the specified primary server is deleted and its associated entry from the configuration files also removed.
See the backup man page fs module for detailed examples.
