Adding a client to a policy

The clients list contains a list of the clients that are backed up during an automatic backup. In addition, a client that is specified in the policy should be an Enterprise Vault server.

Note the following requirements for clients in an Enterprise Vault policy:

  • NetBackup client software must be installed on each system that hosts an Enterprise Vault database or is an Enterprise Vault server.

  • The following directives do not allow multiple clients:

    • EV_INDEX_LOCATION=

    • EV_OPEN_PARTITION=

    • EV_READY_PARTITIONS=

    • EV_CLOSED_PARTITIONS=

    • EV_FINGERPRINT_DB=

    • EV_VAULT_STORE_DB=

To add a client to a policy

  1. In the policy, select the Clients tab.
  2. Select the Add button.
  3. Type the name of the client you want to add.

    If the Enterprise Vault server is part of an Enterprise Vault cluster, then you must specify the virtual name of the Enterprise Vault server as the policy client.

    For policy client name recommendations, see the following topic:

    See About hosts for Enterprise Vault policies.

    For more information about Enterprise Vault site and server aliases, see the Enterprise Vault Administrator's Guide.

  4. Select the Add button.
  5. If this client is the last client, select Create or Save to save the policy.
