NetBackup™ SAN Client and Fibre Transport Guide

Before you begin configuring NetBackup on AIX

Observe the following points when you configure the operating system:

  • Verify that NetBackup supports your server platform and devices. Download the NetBackup hardware and operating system compatibility lists.

    http://www.netbackup.com/compatibility

  • Install and configure the IBM AIX Enhanced Device Driver (Atape device driver).

  • Attach all peripherals and reboot the system before you configure the devices in NetBackup. When the computer is rebooted, AIX creates the device files for the attached peripherals.

  • For many configuration steps, you can use the smit System Management Interface Tool. For more information, see the smit(1) man page.

  • To verify that the devices are configured correctly, use smit and /usr/sbin/lsdev command.

  • To obtain error and debug information about devices and robotic software daemons, the syslogd daemon must be active. See the AIX syslogd(1) man page for more information.

After you configure the hardware, add the robots and the drives to NetBackup.
