NetBackup™ for KVM Administrator's Guide

Validate a KVM host

You can validate a KVM host to confirm that NetBackup can connect to the KVM host and that a compatible libvrt version is installed. You may also need to validate a host in the following situations:

  • The KVM host was disconnected (for example, for maintenance).

  • The NetBackup server or client software was upgraded on the KVM host.

  • A new libvirt version was installed on the KVM host.

To validate a KVM host

  1. On the left, select Workloads > KVM, then select the Hosts tab.
  2. In the right pane, locate the KVM host.
  3. Select Actions > Validate.
