Adding Clients to a Policy

  To add a client to a policy

1. In the NetBackup Administration Console, expand NetBackup Management > Policies.
2. Select the Clients tab and click New. The Add Client dialog appears.
3. In the Client Name field, type the name of the client you are adding.

   Observe the following rules for assigning client names:

   • The name must be one by which the server knows the client.
   • If the client is in multiple policies, use the same name in each policy.
   • Use a name by which the server knows the client (one that you can use on the server to ping or telnet to the client).
   • If the network configuration has multiple domains, use a more qualified name. For example, use mars.bdev.null.com or mars.bdev rather than just mars.
4. Click the Hardware and operating system list box, then select the desired entry in the list.

   Add only clients with hardware and operating systems that this policy supports. For example, do not add a Novell NetWare client to an MS-Windows-NT policy. If you add the same client to more than one policy, be sure to designate the same hardware and operating system in each of the policies.

     Note    If the desired hardware and operating system is not in the list, it means that the associated client software is not installed on the server. Check the /usr/openv/netbackup/client directory for the directories and software corresponding to the client you are trying to install. If the directories or software are not there, rerun the installation script on the server and choose the option to install client software (see the NetBackup getting started guide that came with your software).

5. If this is the last client, click OK. If you're adding more clients, click Add. Click Close to cancel changes that you have not yet added and close the Add Client dialog.
