Default port mode configuration for FTMS/MSDP

This topic summarizes the predefined FC HBA port configuration for FTMS/MSDP.

Note the following about using the NetBackup FTMS and MSDP features:

  • FTMS

    For FTMS target port configurations to work, a valid SANClient license is required.

  • MSDP

    MSDP configurations (by IP or over FC) are typically used for optimized duplication and Auto Image Replication applications.

The following table describes the FTMS and MSDP support for all 5240 appliance model configurations.
