Creating application instances

You can create application instances from the System topology page of the Flex Appliance Console. Navigate to the Application instances section and click Create instance to open a new page that lets you create instances of the following applications for NetBackup release 9.0:

  • NetBackup master server

    You can also configure a BMR master server with this application. However, the BMR boot server cannot be configured on the appliance.

  • NetBackup media server with the following storage options:

    • Media Server Deduplication Pool (MSDP)

      You can also configure MSDP cloud storage with this application. Refer to the NetBackup Deduplication Guide after the instance is created.

    • AdvancedDisk

  • NetBackup WORM storage server version 14.0

    The WORM storage server application is included with the NetBackup release but follows a different version scheme. WORM storage server version 14.0 requires a version 9.0 or later master server and media server.

For a full list of supported applications and versions, see the following article on the Veritas Support website:
