NetBackup™ SAN Client and Fibre Transport Guide

Adding a SAN client

If you configure a SAN client and it does not appear as a SAN client in your NetBackup environment, you can add the client. To do so, use the NetBackup Device Configuration Wizard or the NetBackup Administration Console.

The SAN client must be configured correctly and the SAN client FT service must be active.

To add a SAN client by using the wizard

  1. In the NetBackup Administration Console, in the left pane, select Media and Device Management.
  2. In the right pane, click Configure Storage Devices.
  3. Follow the wizard screens.
  4. If the SAN client does not appear on the SAN clients screen, click Add to add it manually.

To add a SAN client by using the Administration Console

  1. In the NetBackup Administration Console, in the left pane, select Media and Device Management > Devices > SAN Clients.
  2. Click Actions > New > New SAN Client.
  3. In the New SAN Client dialog box, enter the name of the client and click OK.

    NetBackup queries the client and adds it to the SAN Clients list in the Administration Console window.
