Servers properties
The Servers properties display the NetBackup server lists on selected master servers, media servers, and clients. The server lists display the NetBackup servers that each host recognizes.
The Master Server field contains the name of the master server for the selected host. (The name of the selected host appears in the title bar.)
The Servers dialog box contains the following tabs:
Table: Servers dialog box properties
Tab | Description |
|---|---|
Additional Servers tab | This tab lists the additional servers that can access the server that is specified as Master server. During installation, NetBackup sets the master server to the name of the system where the server software is installed. NetBackup uses the master server value to validate server access to the client. The master server value is also used to determine which server the client must connect to so that files can be listed and restored. To configure access to a remote server, add to the server list the name of the host seeking access. Note: For a Fibre Transport (FT) media server that has multiple network interfaces for VLANs: Ensure that the FT server's primary host name appears before any other interface names for that FT media server host. For more information, see the NetBackup SAN Client and Fibre Transport Guide. |
Media Servers tab | This tab lists the hosts that are media servers only. Hosts that are listed as media servers can back up and restore clients, but have limited administrative privileges. If a server appears only on the Media servers tab, the server is a media server. Media servers can back up and restore clients, but they have limited administrative privileges. A server that appears on the Media servers tab and the Additional servers tab may introduce unintended consequences. A computer that is defined as both a master server and a media server gives the administrator of the media server full master server privileges. By listing the media server in both places, you may inadvertently give the media server administrator more privileges than intended. |
OpsCenter Servers tab | This tab lists the Veritas NetBackup OpsCenter servers that can access the currently selected master server. To add a server to the list, ensure that the NetBackup server can reach the OpsCenter server. For more information, see the Veritas NetBackup OpsCenter Administrator's Guide. |
Use this tab to add the remote master servers that you trust using NetBackup CA-signed certificates and to view the master servers that are already trusted. See About trusted master servers for Auto Image Replication. See Adding a trusted master server using NetBackup CA-signed (host ID-based) certificate. Note: The NetBackup Administration Console does not support adding a trusted master server using an external CA-signed certificate. See Adding a trusted master server using external CA-signed certificate. Note: If either the source or remote master server is clustered, you must enable inter-node communication on all of the nodes in the cluster. Do so before you add the trusted master server. See Enabling NetBackup clustered master server inter-node authentication. You cannot remove a trusted master server when an SLP is configured in that master server's domain. Information about Auto Image Replication and storage lifecycle policies is available. |
