Configuring Fibre Transport to other NetBackup appliances
Use the following procedure to configure Fibre Transport (FT) to other NetBackup appliances.
Note:
When the FT for replication to other NetBackup appliances is enabled or changed, the deduplication storage daemons require a restart. It is recommended that you first suspend or cancel all jobs before you enable or change this setting.
To configure Fibre Transport to other NetBackup appliances from the NetBackup Appliance Web Console
- Log on to the NetBackup Appliance Web Console.
- Click Settings > Network, then select Fibre Transport.
- To enable the feature, click Enable Fibre Transport for replication to other NetBackup Appliances, then click Save.
When the message appears to inform you of the required appliance version, click OK to continue or click Cancel to exit without making changes.
Note:
You must also enable FC communication on the associated NetBackup appliance.
On a target NetBackup 52xx or 53xx, you must enable that appliance as a replication target to use it as the storage destination.
See Configuring Fibre Transport on a target appliance for optimized duplication and replication.
