NetBackup™ SAN Client and Fibre Transport Guide

Stopping and starting Fibre Transport services for a 16-gigabit target mode HBA support

Fibre Transport services run on both the FT media servers and SAN clients.

The following are the FT services that run on media servers:

  • The nbftsrvr service manages the server side of the FT pipe.

The nbftclnt FT service runs on SAN clients:

These services do not appear in the NetBackup Activity Monitor; they do appear in the operating system process displays.

In normal operation, you should not have to start or stop the services. A Veritas support engineer may direct you to stop and restart services for troubleshooting purposes.

Alternatively, you can use the UNIX kill command without the -9 option to stop the services. The NetBackup bp.kill_all command stops the FT services, but it stops all other NetBackup services also.

The NetBackup bp.start_all command starts all NetBackup services, including the FT services.
