Specifying resilient connections
Use the following procedure to specify resilient connections for NetBackup clients.
See Resilient Network properties.
Alternatively, you can use the resilient_clients script to specify resilient connections for clients:
Windows:
install_path\NetBackup\bin\admincmd\resilient_clientsUNIX:
/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd/resilient_clients
To specify resilient connections
- In the NetBackup Administration Console, expand NetBackup Management > Host Properties > Primary Servers in the left pane.
- In the right pane, select the primary server on which to specify properties.
- On the Actions menu, click Properties.
- In the properties dialog box left pane, select Resilient Network.
- In the Resilient Network dialog box, use the following buttons to manage resiliency for clients:
Add
To add resilient settings
Click Add.
The Add Resilient Network Settings dialog box appears
Enter a client host name, an IP address, or an address range.
If you specify the client host by name, it is recommended that you use the fully qualified domain name.
For address ranges, use Classless Inter-Domain Routing (CIDR) notation (for example, 192.168.100.0/24 or fd00::/8).
Ensure that the Resiliency On option is selected.
Click Add.
Repeat until you have finished entering clients or address ranges.
When you finish adding network settings, click Close.
Add To All
If you select multiple hosts in the NetBackup Administration Console, the entries in the Resilient Network list may appear in different colors, as follows:
The entries that appear in black type are configured on all of the hosts.
The entries that appear in gray type are configured on some of the hosts only.
For the entries that are configured on some of the hosts only, you can add them to all of the hosts. To do so, select them and click Add To All.
Change
To change resilient settings
Select the client host name, the IP address, or the address range.
Click Change.
The Change Resilient Network Settings dialog box appears
Select the desired Resiliency setting.
Click OK.
Remove
Remove the select host or address rang
Select the client host name, the IP address, or the address range.
Click Remove.
The client is removed immediately; a confirmation dialog box does not appear.
Move an item in the list of items
Select the client host name, the IP address, or the address range.
Click the appropriate button to move up the item or move down the item.
The order of the items in the list is significant.
- After specifying resilient connections, click OK.
The settings are propagated to the affected hosts through normal NetBackup inter-host communication, which can take up to 15 minutes.
- If you want to begin a backup immediately, restart the NetBackup services on the primary server.
