Supported data transfer methods for NetBackup

appliances

On the target appliance, you must enable FT for use as the target for optimized

■

duplication and replication. You can customize the port configuration on the

source and the target appliance. Note that the target mode and ports are different

than those for SAN Client Fibre Transport media server (FTMS).

Note: When you perform duplication or replication jobs from the NetBackup

Administration Console, you can monitor the jobs by using the Activity Monitor.

But in the Detailed Status tab, the Transport Type field always reports LAN for

jobs over FC. To see the correct transport type, refer to the details in the Status

box.

Table 1-1

describes the supported data transfer methods between NetBackup

appliances. Specifically, NetBackup deduplication appliance models 5020 or 5030

and NetBackup appliance models 5220, 5230, 5240, 53xx or 5340. The information

includes whether the supported method uses Fibre Channel (FC) or TCP/IP.

Note: The supported methods over TCP/IP are also supported with non-appliance

NetBackup servers. But optimized duplication and Auto Image Replication over FC

are only supported withNetBackup appliance products. Depending on the HBA

configuration, some appliances cannot be used as the target appliance for optimized

duplication and Auto Image Replication.
