About media server recommendations for OpenStorage direct to tape

To simplify OpenStorage configuration and management, Veritas recommends that you use one set of media servers for all OpenStorage activity. The media servers then can function as either read or write side servers for direct to tape operations. They also can function as data movers for other OpenStorage operations.

For each media server in the set, do the following:

  • Configure logon credentials to the OpenStorage storage server.

  • Install the NetBackup for NDMP software.

  • Configure logon credentials for the NDMP FSE host (if required).

  • Configure logon credentials for the NDMP tape server host.
