Adding multiple clients

When adding clients to a Windows-based or Linux-based NetVault Backup Server, can use the following procedure to add multiple clients at the same time.

To add multiple clients to a NetVault Backup Server:
1
In the Navigation pane, click Guided Configuration, and then on the NetVault Configuration Wizard page, select the Install Software/Add Clients option.
2
On the Machines to Be Added as Clients page, , next to Machines, click the add (+) drop-down list, and select a method for adding the deployment targets.
3
In the Add Machines window, on the Machine Details tab, enter the following details based on your method selection.

By FQDN or IP

To manually add the deployment targets, select this method.

On the Machine Details tab, specify the FQDN or IP address of the client.

Click Next.

From Active Directory

To select machines from an Active Directory Domain, select this method.

On the AD Details tab, provide the following details:

AD Server Address: Type the host name or IP address of the Active Directory Server.
User Name: Specify a Domain Account that is in the local Administrators group of all target machines.
Password: Specify the password for the user account.

Optionally, if you want NetVault Backup to remember the password for this user name, select Save Credential.

Click Connect.

In the list of Active Directory Objects, select the target machines, and click Next.

From a file

To import the target list from a file, select this method.

In the Add machines from file dialog box, click Select a file. After selecting the file in the browse window, click OK to upload the file.

For more information about the file format, see File format for specifying deployment targets.

From available machines

To add a client from available machines, select this method.

On the NetVault Machine Details tab, select the client that you want to add.

Provide the NetVault Backup password in the Machine Password box.

Click Next.

Installation Settings

On the Installation Settings tab, provide the NetVault Backup password.

If no NetVault Backup password is set for the client, specify the administrator password for the machine.

Click Next.

Client Settings

On the Client Settings tab, provide the following details:

Client Description: Type a descriptive text for the client.
Client Group: To add the client to one or more client groups, select the corresponding check boxes.

Click Next.

Firewall Settings

If the client resides on a network that is outside the firewall, select the Client is Outside Firewall check box on the Firewall Settings tab, and provide the TCP/IP port specifications. For more information about these settings, see Firewall settings.

Click Verify to check connectivity to the clients. If any errors are reported, click Edit, and modify the applicable installation parameters.

Firewall settings

Firewall settings are required to communicate with NetVault Backup Clients that reside outside the firewall. You can use these settings to specify the TCP/IP ports for establishing data transfer channels, message channels, and broadcast channels through the firewall.

You can configure the firewall settings when deploying or adding a client, or update these settings from the Change Settings page. You can also use the NetVault Backup WebUI or Txtconfig utilities to configure the firewall settings for new or existing clients.

NetVault Backup does not support firewalls using NAT (Network Address Translation)/IP Masquerading.

The following table provides a brief description of the firewall settings.

Listen ports for devices

Ports to listen on for device requests.

Configure this option on the NetVault Backup machines that have a locally attached device (for example, NetVault Backup Server or NetVault Backup Clients with SmartClient licenses).

Requirement: Two ports per drive.

Connect ports for devices

Ports that plug-ins use to connect to remote storage devices.

Configure this option on clients that connect to remote devices.

Requirement: Two ports per drive.

Listen ports for NetVault Backup message channels

Ports for receiving messages during data transfers.

Configure this option on both the NetVault Backup Server and the Client. NetVault Backup requires a two-way connection between the Server and the Client for message channels.

Requirement: Three ports per client.

To run two or more plug-ins simultaneously on a client, configure two ports per plug-in and an extra port per client. For example, to run two plug-ins simultaneously, configure (2 * 2) + 1 = 5 ports for a client.

Connect ports for NetVault Backup message channels

Ports for sending messages during data transfers.

Configure this option on both the NetVault Backup Server and the Client. NetVault Backup requires a two-way connection between the Server and the Client for message channels.

Requirement: Three ports per client.

To run two or more plug-ins simultaneously on a client, configure two ports per plug-in and an extra port per client. For example, to run two plug-ins simultaneously, configure (2 * 2) + 1 = 5 ports for a client.

Connect ports for NDMP control channels

Ports for sending NDMP messages (NDMP control channels).

Configure this option on the NetVault Backup Server (on which the plug-in is installed) when a firewall separates an NDMP filer and the NetVault Backup Server.

By default, NetVault Backup uses port number 10000. You can change it, if necessary.

Listen ports for NDMP data channels

Ports to listen on for NetVault Backup devices operating as NDMP movers.

Configure this option on the NetVault Backup Server or Client to which the device is attached. These ports are used for data transfers between the NDMP filer and storage device when a firewall separates the two networks.

Connect ports for inter-machine setup

Ports for establishing initial contact (broadcast channels) while adding a NetVault Backup Client, and later to ascertain its availability.

Requirement: Two ports per client.

You can use the following formats to specify the ports or port ranges for data channels, message channels, and broadcast channels:

IMPORTANT:
