Configuring Fibre Transport media server settings
The following describes the FC HBA cards that are affected for each appliance model:
Note:
The information in this topic pertains only to NetBackup 5240, 5250, 5330, and 5340 appliances with software versions 4.0 or earlier. To configure Fibre Transport for a 5350 appliance, refer to the following topic: See Configuring Fibre Transport settings.
NetBackup 5240, 5250, 5330, 5340 - FC HBA cards in slots 5 and 6
Note:
After the FTMS configuration is completed, the client OS may not be able to recognize the tape devices exported by the FTMS. It is recommended to reload the NetBackup client side HBA driver for the ports used for NetBackup SAN client backup and restore. Alternatively, restart the client machines to reload the driver and refresh the device tree.
