Allow access to another server
For a local host to administer a remote server, the name of the local host must appear in the server list of the remote server. Likewise, the remote host must include the local host in its server list.
Figure: Server lists on local server and remote server assumes that server_1 wants to administer server_2.
To add a server to a server list
- In the NetBackup Administration Console, expand Host Properties > Master Server.
- Double-click the name of the server to view the properties.
- Select the Servers tab to display the server list.
If the remote server does not appear in the Additional Servers list, the current server considers it invalid.
- To add a server to the server list, click Add.
- In the New Server dialog box, type the server name in the field.
- Click Add to add the server to the list. Then, click Close to close the dialog box. The server appears in the server list.
The bp.conf file on every UNIX server contains SERVER and possibly MEDIA_SERVER entries. The server list in the Servers properties dialog box represents these entries. Hosts that are listed as media servers have limited administrative privileges.
- Click OK to save the changes.
