Specifying the master server for a NetBackup for DB2 client

After you add your NetBackup for DB2 client to a policy, specify the master server for the client in the NetBackup Administration Console.

Note:

Add the server names to the master server before you configure the server list on the client. To add server names on the client, see the following topic:

See Specifying the NetBackup master server from the client.

To specify the master server in the NetBackup Administration Console

  1. In the left pane, expand NetBackup Management > Host Properties > Clients.
  2. Double-click the NetBackup for DB2 client name in the Clients list.
  3. Click Servers.
  4. Verify that the correct server displays in the Master Server box.

    If the correct server does not display, click the server name in the Additional Servers list, and click Make Master. Alternatively, click Add to add a new server name to the list.

  5. Click OK.
