Adding shared or cluster mappings

In certain scenarios, host ID to host name mappings are shared across host IDs. For example, in a cluster setup, virtual name is shared across all nodes. You need to add these shared mappings using the NetBackup Administration Console so that the primary server can successfully communicate with the nodes.

See Add or Remove Host Mappings dialog box.

To add shared mappings

  1. In the NetBackup Administration Console, expand Security Management > Host Management.
  2. On the Hosts tab, in the details pane, right-click to view the options.
  3. On the right-click options, select Add Shared or Cluster Mappings.
  4. On the Add Shared or Cluster Mappings dialog box, specify the shared mapping name.

    See Add Shared or Cluster Mappings dialog box.

  5. Select host IDs to be mapped with the specified shared mapping name.
  6. Click Save.
