Giving full server privileges to the media server
A media server used in an Instant Recovery backup must have full server privileges. If it does not have server privileges, the snapshots created by each backup do not properly expire in the NetBackup catalog.
To give full server privileges to the media server
- In the NetBackup Administration Console, click Host Properties > Master Server > double click master server > Master Server Properties > Servers.
- Make sure that the media server is listed under Additional Servers, not under Media Servers.
Note: on UNIX, this procedure places a SERVER = host entry in the
bp.conffile for each host that is listed under Additional Servers. In thebp.conffile, the media server must not be designated by a MEDIA_SERVER = host entry.
