Adding a master server or appliance in OpsCenter
To allow OpsCenter to communicate with a managed NetBackup server and collect data requires some security configuration. OpsCenter can monitor the master servers which have NetBackup Access Control (NBAC) configured and also those servers that do not have NBAC configured.
Note:
It is recommended that any NetBackup master server or appliance master server is monitored by only one OpsCenter Server.
Use the following steps to add a master server or an appliance master server. Note that you must first configure the master server to allow server access and data collection by OpsCenter. After configuring the master server, you must add this server to the OpsCenter console so that it can be monitored.
Note:
You cannot add an appliance media server to the OpsCenter console. To monitor an appliance media server, you can add a master appliance or a regular master server to which it is connected.
To add a master server or an appliance master server
- Configure your managed master server or appliance master server to allow server access and data collection by OpsCenter.
- After configuring the master server or appliance master server, you must add the master server or appliance to the OpsCenter console so that it can be monitored.
See Adding a master server or an appliance master server in the OpsCenter console.
Note:
You can use an alternate procedure to add a NetBackup master server to OpsCenter. This procedure can be used for both NBAC and non-NBAC servers.
