Managing OpenStorage data movers

In OpenStorage, NetBackup media servers function as the data movers. A data mover is an entity that moves data between the primary storage (the NetBackup client) and the storage server.

For an existing OpenStorage environment in NetBackup, you can do the following:

  • Add a media server as a data mover.

    See Adding an OpenStorage data mover.

    To add an OpenStorage data mover, see the procedure later in this section.

  • Retire a media server as a data mover.

    See Retiring an OpenStorage data mover.
