Netbackup Configuration
The X4500 will be configured as a Media Server. In this example, it is assumed that there is a separate Master NBU
server.
The “Netbackup and Media Manager” package must be installed on the X4500. It also will require the appropriate
server licensing.
It is recommended that the Master server's bp.conf file be updated with the new Media server information before
installing the software on the media server. An example is shown below.
The supported installation method is using the install script that comes with the Netbackup Installation media.
root@thumper1 # /nfs/nbu-new/DVD2/install
