Specifying the NetBackup master server from the client
To ensure that the templates you create are saved to and run from the correct master server, specify the master server on the client. You select the master server in the Backup, Archive, and Restore interface. On UNIX, you can also define it in the bp.conf file.
To select the master server in the Backup, Archive, and Restore interface
- In the Backup, Archive, and Restore interface, click the following sequence:.
Windows: File > Specify NetBackup Machines and Policy Type
UNIX: Actions > Specify NetBackup Machines and Policy Type
- In the Server to use for backups and restores list, select the master server.
- Click OK.
To use the bp.conf file to define the master server (UNIX), specify the master server in one of the following locations:
$DB2_HOME/bp.conf/usr/openv/netbackup/bp.conf
