NetBackup™ SAN Client and Fibre Transport Guide

About Fibre Transport

NetBackup Fibre Transport is a method of data transfer. It uses Fibre Channel and a subset of the SCSI command protocol for data movement over a SAN rather than TCP/IP over a LAN. It provides a high-performance transport mechanism between NetBackup clients and NetBackup media servers.

Fibre Transport supports multiple, concurrent logical connections. The NetBackup systems that support Fibre Transport contain Fibre Channel HBAs that are dedicated to FT communication.

The NetBackup Fibre Transport service is active on both the SAN clients and the NetBackup media servers that connect to the storage.

Throughout this documentation, Fibre Transport connections between NetBackup clients and NetBackup servers are referred to as FT pipes.
