About configuring Fibre Transport properties
NetBackup Fibre Transport properties control how your SAN clients use the Fibre Transport services for backups. NetBackup uses a hierarchy of properties to provide increasingly granular control of how your clients use NetBackup Fibre Transport. The following table describes the levels of property configuration in the Host properties.
Table: Fibre Transport properties
Granularity | Description |
|---|---|
Global Fibre Transport properties for all SAN clients | Global Fibre Transport properties apply to all SAN clients. Global Fibre Transport properties are configured on the primary server. Configure these properties in the host properties for the primary server. |
Fibre Transport properties for a media server or media servers | Fibre Transport properties for a media server or servers apply to the SAN clients that the media server or servers back up. The properties override the global Fibre Transport properties that are configured on the primary server. Configure these properties in the host properties for the media server. |
Fibre Transport properties for a SAN client or SAN clients | Fibre Transport properties for a client or clients apply to the specific SAN client or clients. Fibre Transport properties for SAN clients override the media server FT properties. Configure these properties in the host properties for the client. |
See Configure Fibre Transport properties.
NetBackup provides one finer level of granularity for Fibre Transport. SAN client usage preferences override the Fibre Transport properties that you configure through Host properties.
