SAN Media Server

It was installed a Netbackup Server on a server running RHEL 5.6, using Enteprise Cliente License. We aim to make backup of this server through optical fiber (directly), without passing through other media server. I'm in doubt how to configure this media server and how to configure the master server. I mean what must be set on master server so it will see this new media server. Also i would like to know the difference between SAN media server and SAN client.

In the above scenario I guess my server will be a SAN media server, right ?

  • Ensure that 'On demand only' is selected in the STU properties.

    This is a requirement for SAN Media servers as they can only backup themselves.

    If this server is sharing tape drives with other media servers, ensure that you add the Library Based Tape Drives license key as well as SSO (Shared Storage Option).
    Use the same license keys as the ones on other media servers.
