Add/Edit Backup Manager window or the XML Gateways tab on Global Parameters
-> Server Parameters.
NOTE:
Add several XML Gateways to a group to activate load balancing and failover.
Media Operations can communicate with the XML Gateway group using proxy
settings defined for that group. Backup Manager, its XML Gateway, and the Media
Operations Server can then be in different networks separated by a firewall.
Media Operations supports the following proxy types:
• SOCKS4 basic
• SOCKS4 with username/password
• SOCKS5 with username/password
• HTTPS Web Proxy
These proxy parameters are used for all communications to the XML Gateway group.
TIP:
If you install XML Gateway on the Backup Manager and select
Use Backup Manager as XML Gateway, you need not create an XML Gateway
group. However, an XML Gateway group is required to support a proxy connection
from the Media Operations Server to XML Gateway.
Polling schedule
The polling schedule defines when configuration information needs to be extracted
from the Backup Manager through configured XML Gateways. You can create or
edit a polling schedule from the Polling tab on the Add/Edit Backup Manager window
if you have XML Gateway selected as the interface type.
The polling schedule is used to synchronize the Media Operations configuration with
the Backup Manager, so you need to tune the schedules to match your backup
processes.
Media Operations polls for four reports:
• Configuration Report containing the Backup Manager, media pools, devices,
and backup specific information. There must be at least one configuration report
defined in the Backup Server polling schedule.
