NetBackup™ SAN Client and Fibre Transport Guide

How to choose SAN Client and Fibre Transport hosts

When you choose the systems to use for NetBackup Fibre Transport, be aware of the following:

  • NetBackup SAN clients cannot also be NetBackup servers. Therefore, only configure a NetBackup client to be a SAN client on systems on which only the NetBackup client software is installed.

  • Do not use the NetBackup primary server as an FT media server. Data transfer consumes system resources and severely degrades NetBackup management performance.
