About configuring Fibre Transport properties
NetBackup Fibre Transport properties control how your SAN clients use the Fibre Transport services for backups. NetBackup uses a hierarchy of properties to provide increasingly granular control of how your clients use NetBackup Fibre Transport. The following table describes the levels of property configuration in the Host Properties of the NetBackup Administration Console.
Table: Fibre Transport properties
Granularity | Description |
|---|---|
Global FT properties for all SAN clients | Global FT properties apply to all SAN clients. Global FT properties are configured on the master server. Configure these properties in Host Properties > Master Servers in the NetBackup Administration Console. |
FT properties for a media server or media servers | FT properties for a media server or servers apply to the SAN clients that the media server or servers back up. The properties override the global FT properties that are configured on the master server. Configure these properties in Host Properties > Media Servers in the NetBackup Administration Console. |
FT properties for a SAN client or SAN clients | FT properties for a client or clients apply to the specific SAN client or clientss. FT properties for SAN clients override the media server FT properties. Configure these properties in Host Properties > Clients in the NetBackup Administration Console. |
See Configuring Fibre Transport properties.
NetBackup provides one finer level of granularity for Fibre Transport. SAN client usage preferences override the FT properties that you configure through Host Properties.
