Adding clients to a policy
The client list contains a list of the clients on which your scripts are run during an automatic backup or the clients that can send backup requests to the application schedule. A NetBackup client must be in at least one policy but can be in more than one.
For a NetBackup for DB2 policy, clients you want to add must have the following items installed or available:
DB2
NetBackup client or server
The backup or restore scripts, unless you use templates
