Adding clients to a CLARiiON storage group
All NetBackup primary clients and any alternate clients must exist in a CLARiiON storage group. NetBackup does not automatically add clients to a CLARiiON storage group.
Warning:
Veritas strongly recommends that every NetBackup client be given its own CLARiiON storage group on the array. Data corruption could result if more than one client (host) exists in a single storage group. If it is necessary to have multiple hosts in a single storage group, you must make certain that only one host in the storage group is actually using the device at any given time. (Only one host should mount the disk.) A Windows host may actually write to a LUN masked device even if the device is not mounted. Therefore, a Windows host should always be in its own storage group.
To add clients to a CLARiiON storage group
- Register your clients (hosts) with the array.
- Create storage groups.
- Add the NetBackup primary and any alternate clients to the storage groups.
For more detail, see your array administrator or array documentation.
