Veritas NetBackup™ Snapshot Client Administrator's Guide

Configuration tasks for the array administrator

Before you configure a backup, your array administrator or network administrator must do several tasks. Assistance with these tasks may be found in your array documentation or Windows documentation.

The array administrator must do the following tasks:

  • Install the disk array and its software (such as Web) interface, including appropriate licenses.

  • Install supported HBAs on the NetBackup primary client and alternate clients.

  • If not already done, zone the client HBAs through the Fibre Channel switch, so the array is visible to the primary client and any alternate clients.

  • Register your NetBackup primary client and any alternate clients with the array.

  • Install NetBackup and array vendor snapshot management software on the NetBackup primary client and any alternate clients.

  • Configure source and snapshot devices on the array (such as LUNs).

  • For Microsoft Windows primary clients and any alternate clients, install the appropriate VSS provider for your array.
