ENABLE_DIRECT_CONNECTION for servers
With NAT clients in place, NetBackup primary servers and media servers are configured only to accept communication requests from clients.
Servers cannot communicate directly with clients. The ENABLE_DIRECT_CONNECTION option lets you establish a direct connection between servers and clients when required.
Here are some example scenarios where servers need to directly connect to clients:
When the NetBackup domain consists of clients that are not behind any firewall or are not using any gateway
When the NetBackup domain consists of clients with earlier versions
By default the direct connection between servers and clients is disabled.
