Accessing remote servers
If a NetBackup site has multiple master servers, you can configure the systems so that multiple servers can be accessed from one NetBackup Administration Console.
If the server that you want to access is a media server or client, it must be provisioned with a security certificate.
See About security certificates for NetBackup hosts.
Use the following procedure to access a remote server.
To access a remote server
- Ensure that the remote server is accessible to the local server.
Use one of the following methods to access a remote server:
Use the Change Server option:
Select any main node in the left pane of the NetBackup Administration Console. (The option does not appear in the File menu unless a main node is selected.)
Click OK to launch a new console.
Enter the host name of another server.
Enter a user name and password and click Login.
If the user has the necessary permissions on both servers, the user can transition from one to another without setting up trust relationships.
If server_1 is not listed on the server list of server_2, server_1 receives an error message after it tries to change servers to server_2.
If the user has administrative privileges on one server and different privileges on another server, the user is required to reauthenticate.
Specify the remote server on the login screen:
Enter the host name of the remote server.
Enter the user name and password for an authorized NetBackup administrator, then click Login.
