Need Installation steps /procedure for Netbackup 7.1 with SAN

Hi Friends,

 

We would like to install Netbackup 7.1 in Windows server 2008 r2 to take backup of Exchange and SQL server files/folders to SAN and then to  Autoloader tapes. Please provide the screenshots and what is the best way/steps to implement Netbackup setup.

    Presuming below things  are in place

    NetBackup Master/Media Server, Client (SQL/Exchange) and back end storage, and Tape Auto loader must be connected to same SAN switch

    Get Enterprise Client License key from Symantec and add it on master server

    Zone Tape auto loader to Client (HBA connectivity must be there, Refer HCL for support HBA)

    Deploy NetBackup Media Server

    Add Enterprise Client Key on media server

    Configure tape devices

    From Master server configure backup policy and select New Media server as Destination Storage Unit

    NetBackup activity monitor doesn't show difference in textual form on data transport in case it's SAN media server.  Transport type would still show as LAN under job details

    Don't panic

    Simply review network utilization (you'll surprise minimal utilization but still backup is happening). Time to check utilization on SAN switch.

    Hope this helps
