Firewall port usage
Before you configure a NetBackup appliance as a media server, the master server that you plan
to use with it must be updated with the new appliance media server name. Whether the master
server is a NetBackup appliance or a traditional NetBackup master server, the name of the new
appliance media server must be added to the
Additional Servers
list on the master server.
Adding the new appliance media server name to the master server before the new appliance is
configured provides the following benefits when performing the initial configuration on the new
appliance:
■
Provides the appropriate network communication that allows the media server to become part
of the NetBackup domain.
■
Allows the media server to create the storage server and the disk pool entries.
See
“Configuring a master server to communicate with an appliance media server”
on page 57.
Media server role
The appliance comes with a not for resale (NFR) license key that expires after a specific period
of time. The appliance does not provide a warning message that this license key is about to
expire. Therefore, Veritas recommends that you change this key to a permanent key after you
install and configure the appliance. See the
NetBackup Appliance Administrator's Guide
for
information and instructions on how to view and change a license key.
Replace the NFR keys with permanent keys before they expire.
