NetBackup™ SAN Client and Fibre Transport Guide

Disabling a SAN client

You can disable a SAN client. If you do, the client cannot backup over the SAN to an FT media server.

See About disabling SAN Client and Fibre Transport.

After you disable a SAN client, you can remove it from your NetBackup environment.

To disable the NetBackup SAN client service on UNIX

  1. To stop the service, run the following command on the client:

    /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/nbftclnt -terminate

  2. To configure the host so it does not start the SAN client service after a computer restart, run the following command:

    /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/bpclntcmd -sanclient 0

To disable the NetBackup SAN client service on Windows

  1. Use Windows Computer Management to stop the NetBackup SAN Client Service.
  2. To configure the host so it does not start the SAN client service after a restart, run the following command:

    install_path\NetBackup\bin\bpclntcmd.exe -sanclient 0
