Allowing other servers or clients to restore virtual machines
You can configure NetBackup to allow nbrestorevm to run from another host (such as another server, client, or virtual machine). The enabled host can use nbrestorevm to restore the virtual machine. The host must be configured as a peer of the NetBackup primary server that performed the backup.
You can configure the peer in either of the following ways:
In the NetBackup Administration Console, click . Add the peer on the Additional servers tab.
Add an empty peer_name file in the following location:
UNIX, Linux
/usr/openv/netbackup/db/altnames/peer_nameWindows
install_path\NetBackup\db\altnames\peer_nameThe name of the file is the name of the server or client to be granted restore privileges.
For instructions, see the topics on allowing clients to perform redirected restores, in the NetBackup Administrator's Guide, Vol I.
