To add a client to a policy

1. In the NetBackup Administration Console, expand NetBackup Management > Policies.

2. Double-click the policy that you want to change.

3. Select the Clients tab and click New.

4. In the highlighted field, type the name of the client or browse to find and select the client.

   Observe the following rules for assigning client names:

   • Use a name by which the server knows the client (one that you can use on the server to ping or telnet to the client).

   • If the client is in multiple policies, use the same name in each policy.

   • If the network configuration has multiple domains, use a more qualified name. For example, use client1.null.com or client1. null rather than only client1.

   • Add only clients with the hardware and the operating systems that this policy supports.

5. Press Enter on the keyboard.

6. If the Detect operating system check box is not selected, you are prompted to choose the hardware and the operating system. Select the appropriate operating system and then click OK to close the Client Hardware and Operating System dialog box.

   Add only clients with the hardware and the operating systems that the policy supports. For example, do not add a Novell NetWare client to an MS-Windows policy.

7. Click OK to close the Change Policy dialog box or select another tab.

8. To add another client, click New.
