Creating or deleting a NetBackup server group
Use the following procedure to configure a server group.
Caution:
NetBackup allows a server group name to be the same as the name of a media server. To avoid confusion, Veritas recommends that you do not use the same name for a server group and a media server.
To configure a server group
- In the NetBackup Administration Console, expand Media and Device Management > Devices > Server Groups.
- In the Actions menu, select New > Server Group.
Server group name: Specify the name of the server group. You cannot change the name of an existing server group. Veritas recommends that server group names be unique. That is, do not use the same name for a server group that you use for a host such as a media server. If you do, you may not be able to determine easily if a tape is restricted to a specific media server or to a specific media server group.
Server group type: Specify the type of server group.
State: Select the state from the drop-down menu:
Active. The server group is available for use.
Inactive. The server group is not available for use.
Description: Describe the server group.
Servers in group: Specify the servers that belong to the group.
Servers not in group: Specify the servers that do not belong to the group.
- In the New Server Group dialog box, enter or select the appropriate information.
To add a server to the group, select it in the Servers Not in Group window and click Add.
To remove a server from the group, select it in the Servers in Group window and click Remove.
- Click OK to save the server group.
Use the following procedure to delete a server group.
To delete a server group
