Add an AHV access host
NetBackup uses a special host that is called a AHV access host. It is a NetBackup client that performs backups on behalf of the virtual machines. The access host is the only host on which NetBackup media server or client software is installed. No NetBackup client software is required on the virtual machines. However, the access host must have access to the storage container of the virtual machines. The access host reads the data from the storage container and sends it over the network to the media server.
The AHV access host was formerly called the AHV backup host. The access host is referred to as the recovery host when it performs a restore.
Note:
Make sure that NetBackup media server software or client software is installed on any access host that you add.
