Viewing Fibre Transport traffic
You can view the current activity between FT media servers and SAN clients. The following two views are available:
FT media server view | The media server view shows all of the inbound backup (and outbound restore) traffic for a selected FT media server. Use this view to determine which SAN clients can send data to and receive data from the selected media server. See “To view FT activity from the media server perspective”. |
SAN Client view | The SAN client view shows all of the outbound backup (and inbound restore) traffic for a selected client. Use this view to determine which FT media servers can send data to and receive data from the selected client. |
To view FT activity from the media server perspective
- In the NetBackup Administration Console, in the left pane, expand Media and Device Management > Devices > Media Server.
- Select an FT media server in the right pane.
- Click Actions > View FT Connections.
The Media Server Fibre Transport View dialog box shows the connection activity for the media server.
To view FT activity from the client perspective
