Adding an optional media server

You can optionally add a media server to be used by the NetBackup client. If the media server name is not added, the local NetBackup client uses the NetBackup primary server as the NetBackup media server. But it is not mandatory that the NetBackup primary server be the NetBackup media server. In production environments, the NetBackup media server is separate from the NetBackup primary server.

To add an optional NetBackup media server

  • Add an optional NetBackup media server.
    Backup> netbackup media-server add media_server_name 
[media_server_IP]

    For example:

    Backup> netbackup media-server add FQDN_of_primary_server

Make sure that the server hostname can be resolved through DNS, and its IP address can be resolved back to the NetBackup media server hostname through the DNS reverse lookup. If DNS is not configured in the cluster, specify the media_server_IP in the /etc/hosts file of all nodes of the cluster. to create a mapping between the server hostname and its IP address.

You can also delete an already configured NetBackup media server.

To delete an already configured NetBackup media server

  • Delete an already configured NetBackup media server.
    Backup> netbackup media-server delete server

See the backup_netbackup(1) man page for detailed examples.
