Adding a backup host to the NetBackup primary server
The backup host or appliance acts as a channel to establish an indirect communication between the NetBackup primary server and the RHV manager. The backup host is a NetBackup client that performs backups or restores on behalf of the virtual machines.
A NetBackup primary and media server can also be configured as the backup host. However, you do not need to add the primary or media server acting as a backup host to the list.
The secure communication happens by APIs and uses SSL.
Note:
SSL requires that all backup hosts have ECA certificates.
Communication between RHV and backup host requires an open port.
The following operating systems are supported for your backup host:
Windows
Red Hat Linux
SUSE
When the backup host is not a NetBackup media server or an appliance, you need to add the backup host to the NetBackup list.
To add an access host
- In the NetBackup Web UI, in the left pane, click RHV.
- At the top right, RHV settings > Access hosts and click Add to add an access host.
