Configuring access to a NetBackup master server

The Information Map Agent pulls metadata from the NetBackup master server. To enable the Agent to access the master server, you must add the IP address of the Agent to the master server. The network name for the Agent server must be resolvable in DNS for reverse name lookup (for example, infomap.company.com resolving to 192.168.0.150).

Note that you must complete the procedure only once for every NetBackup master server that you want the Agent to connect with.

To configure communication between the Information Map Agent and the master server

  1. On the NetBackup Administration Console, click NetBackup Management > Host Properties > Master Servers.
  2. On the Master Servers Properties window, click Servers.
  3. On the Servers pop-up, click Additional Servers.
  4. Click Add, and enter the IP address of the Information Map Agent Server.

    This step adds the Information Map Agent Server to the list of servers that can access the NetBackup master server.

Note:

You can also add an entry for the Agent to bp.conf on a UNIX master server or modify the registry entry in case of a Windows master server.
