Add a server group

A server group is a group of NetBackup servers that are used for a common purpose. Servers can be in more than one group.

Caution:

NetBackup allows a server group name to be the same as the name of a media server. To avoid confusion, do not use same name for a server group and a media server.

To add a server group

  1. On the left, click Storage > Media servers.
  2. Click Server groups.
  3. Click Add server group.
  4. Provide the information for the server group.

    Server group name

    Provide a unique name for the server group. Do not use the name for an existing media server or other host. You cannot change the name of an existing server group.

    Server group type

    Select the type of server group.

    State

    Active. The server group is available for use.

    Inactive. The server group is not available for use.

    Description

    Provide a description of the group.

  5. To add a server to the group, click Add, select the server, then click Add.

    To remove a server from the group, select the server and click Remove.
