Attributes tab
Use the policy Attributes tab in the Change Deployment Policy window to configure deployment management settings when you add a new deployment policy or change an existing deployment policy.
The policy Attributes tab contains the following attributes:
Attribute | Description |
|---|---|
Packages | Select the package that you want to deploy from the drop-down menu. Note: You must add packages to the VxUpdate repository before you can create a working deployment policy. You can create deployment policies without packages in the repository, but those policies fail to run successfully. For more information regarding adding packages, see the Repository Management section within the NetBackup Upgrade Guide. |
Media server | Specify the media server from drop-down. The media server that is specified is used to connect and transfer files to the NetBackup hosts that are included in the policy. The media server must be version NetBackup 8.1.2 or later. Since the repository resides on the master server, the master server is the default value for the media server field. |
Limit simultaneous jobs (Optional) | Select the option and specify a value for jobs to limit the total number of concurrent jobs that can run at one time. The default value is 3. The minimum value is 1 and the maximum value is 999. If you want to set unlimited simultaneous upgrade jobs, you must specify a value which is equivalent or higher than the count of the number of hosts that are selected for upgrade. For example, if you have selected 50 hosts, ensure that the value is set to 50 or more but lower than the maximum value which is 999. You can set unlimited simultaneous upgrade jobs through command line interface by providing the value as 0. |
Select hosts | Select hosts from the list and select to add hosts to the deployment policy. Once you select , the hosts are shown under Selected hosts. If you see a warning icon besides a host name, it could be due to one of the following reasons:
Note: The Select hosts list displays hosts from the host database and policy database. The list displays those hosts which are added to the deployment policy. The policy hosts that are not found in the host database shows version as unknown. |
