Associating NetBackup media server(s) with Snapshot Manager for Data Center
You can use a media server(s) to perform snapshot management and replication operations in your on-premises environment. To use a media server(s), you must associate one or more media servers to the Snapshot Manager for Data Center. The media server(s) must be in an active state to run the snapshot or replication jobs. The media server that you associate with the Snapshot Manager for Data Center must be associated to your NetBackup primary server as well.
You can associate media servers with the tpconfig command in the CLI. Use the command:
tpconfig -update -snapshot_manager <snapshot_manager_server_name> -add_media_server <media_server>
To enable existing associated Snapshot Manager for Data Center servers using Web UI:
- On the left pane, select Snapshot Manager for Data Center under Storage.
- In Snapshot server tab, select the host name.
The list of existing media servers will be displayed.
- Select the required server and click the action button.
- Select Enable.
To associate multiple media servers, you can run this command once for each server. If you do not associate a media server, the NetBackup primary server is used.
You may also associate NetBackup media server with Snapshot Manager for Data Center using NetBackup APIs. To associate NetBackup media server using API, refer to the NetBackup API documentation: https://swagger.biztools.global/
