The Servers properties display the NetBackup server lists on the selected primary server, media server, or client. The server lists display the NetBackup servers that the host recognizes.
The Primary server field contains the name of the primary server for the selected host. (The name of the selected host appears in the title bar.)
The Servers page contains the following settings.
Table: Servers properties
Tab | Description |
|---|---|
Additional servers tab | This tab lists the additional servers that can access the server that is specified as the Primary server. During installation, NetBackup sets the primary server to the name of the system where the server software is installed. NetBackup uses the primary server value to validate server access to the client. The primary server value is also used to determine which server the client must connect to so that files can be listed and restored. Note: For a Fibre Transport (FT) media server that has multiple network interfaces for VLANs: Ensure that the FT server's primary host name appears before any other interface names for that FT media server host. For more information, see the NetBackup SAN Client and Fibre Transport Guide. |
Media servers tab | This tab lists the hosts that are media servers only. Hosts that are listed as media servers can back up and restore clients, but have limited administrative privileges. If you add a media server to both the Media servers tab and the Additional servers tab, this action may introduce unintended consequences. A computer that is defined as both a primary server and a media server gives the administrator of the media server full primary server privileges. You may inadvertently give the media server administrator more privileges than intended. |
Trusted primary servers tab | Use this tab to add the remote primary servers that you trust using NetBackup CA-signed certificates or external CA-signed certificates and to view the primary servers that are already trusted. See Add a trusted primary server. Note: If either the source or remote primary server is clustered, you must enable inter-node communication on all of the nodes in the cluster. Do so before you add the trusted primary server. See Enable inter-node authentication for a NetBackup clustered primary server. If your user account is configured for multifactor authentication on the target host, append the one-time password to the password. |
