The GRFS advertised name is the name that the Backup Exec UNIX agent uses to identify itself to the Backup Exec server. The advertised name may not be the same as the real computer name and path.

To set the correct client name and paths in Backup Exec UNIX images .f file paths, map the master server between the GRFS advertised name (generic file system name) and the actual client name and path.

The GRFS advertised name uses the following format:

ADVERTISED_HOST_NAME/advertised_path

where ADVERTISED_HOST_NAME is the advertised host name and advertised_path is the advertised path. Enter the ADVERTISED_HOST_NAME in capital letters.

A Backup Exec service maps the advertised name to the actual computer name and path, and then backs up the advertised name and path. When NetBackup imports Backup Exec UNIX backups, the mapping service is not present; therefore the names and paths must be indicated.

If the host properties do not list any entries, NetBackup assumes that the advertised name is the same as the real computer name. NetBackup assumes that the advertised path is the same as the real path.

To change a selected GRFS entry, select an entry in the Backup Exec Tape Reader properties list and click Change.

To remove a GRFS entry, select an entry in the Backup Exec Tape Reader properties list and click Remove.
