NetBackup™ SAN Client and Fibre Transport Guide

Register a SAN client cluster virtual name

If you use a cluster to protect a client, you must register the cluster virtual name with NetBackup.

To register a cluster virtual name

  1. Add the virtual name to the database. The following is the command syntax:

    nbemmcmd - addhost - machinename virtual_name - machinetype app_cluster

    The following is the path to the nbemmcmd command:

    • UNIX: /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd

    • Windows: install_path\NetBackup\bin\admincmd

  2. For every client in the node, update the host so the virtual name is linked to the client host name. The following is the command syntax:

    nbemmcmd - updatehost - add_server_to_app_cluster - machinename client_name - clustername virtual_name
