Servers properties
Note:
The Servers properties can be configured on the NetBackup web UI. On the left pane, select . Depending on the host to be configured, select the Primary Server, Media Servers, or Clients. From the Actions menu, select the option, and then click .
The Servers properties display the NetBackup server lists on selected primary servers, media servers, and clients. The server lists display the NetBackup servers that each host recognizes.
The Primary Server field contains the name of the primary server for the selected host. (The name of the selected host appears in the title bar.)
The Servers dialog box contains the following tabs:
Table: Servers dialog box properties
Tab | Description |
|---|---|
Additional Servers tab | This tab lists the additional servers that can access the server that is specified as Primary server. During installation, NetBackup sets the primary server to the name of the system where the server software is installed. NetBackup uses the primary server value to validate server access to the client. The primary server value is also used to determine which server the client must connect to so that files can be listed and restored. To configure access to a remote server, add to the server list the name of the host seeking access. Note: For a Fibre Transport (FT) media server that has multiple network interfaces for VLANs: Ensure that the FT server's primary host name appears before any other interface names for that FT media server host. For more information, see the NetBackup SAN Client and Fibre Transport Guide. |
Media Servers tab | This tab lists the hosts that are media servers only. Hosts that are listed as media servers can back up and restore clients, but have limited administrative privileges. If a server appears only on the Media servers tab, the server is a media server. Media servers can back up and restore clients, but they have limited administrative privileges. A server that appears on the Media servers tab and the Additional servers tab may introduce unintended consequences. A computer that is defined as both a primary server and a media server gives the administrator of the media server full primary server privileges. By listing the media server in both places, you may inadvertently give the media server administrator more privileges than intended. |
Use this tab to add the remote primary servers that you trust using NetBackup CA-signed certificates and to view the primary servers that are already trusted. See About trusted primary servers for Auto Image Replication. See Adding a trusted primary server using a NetBackup CA-signed (host ID-based) certificate. Note: The NetBackup Administration Console does not support adding a trusted primary server using an external CA-signed certificate. See Adding a trusted primary server using external CA-signed certificate. Note: If either the source or remote primary server is clustered, you must enable inter-node communication on all of the nodes in the cluster. Do so before you add the trusted primary server. See Enabling NetBackup clustered primary server inter-node authentication. You cannot remove a trusted primary server when an SLP is configured in that primary server's domain. Information about Auto Image Replication and storage lifecycle policies is available. |
