Adding a primary server or appliance in OpsCenter
To allow OpsCenter to communicate with a managed NetBackup server and collect data requires some security configuration. OpsCenter can monitor the primary servers which have NetBackup Access Control (NBAC) configured and also those servers that do not have NBAC configured.
Note:
It is recommended that any NetBackup primary server or appliance primary server is monitored by only one OpsCenter Server.
Use the following steps to add a primary server or an appliance primary server. Note that you must first configure the primary server to allow server access and data collection by OpsCenter. After configuring the primary server, you must add this server to the OpsCenter console so that it can be monitored.
Note:
You cannot add an appliance media server to the OpsCenter console. To monitor an appliance media server, you can add a primary appliance or a regular primary server to which it is connected.
To add a primary server or an appliance primary server
- Configure your managed primary server or appliance primary server to allow server access and data collection by OpsCenter.
- After configuring the primary server or appliance primary server, you must add the primary server or appliance to the OpsCenter console so that it can be monitored.
See Adding a primary server or an appliance primary server in the OpsCenter console.
Note:
You can use an alternate procedure to add a NetBackup primary server to OpsCenter. This procedure can be used for both NBAC and non-NBAC servers.
