Activating or deactivating a media server
When you activate a media
server, NetBackup can use it for backup and restore jobs. For
example, you can deactivate a media server to perform maintenance.
When a media server is deactivated, NetBackup does not send job
requests to it.
When you deactivate a media server, the following
things occur:
-
Current jobs are allowed to complete.
-
No new jobs are scheduled for the host.
-
If the host is part of a shared drive
configuration, it does not scan drives.
To activate or deactivate a media server
-
In the NetBackup
Administration Console, expand Media and
Device Management > Media Servers.
-
From the Media Servers pane, select the media server to
activate or deactivate.
-
On the Actions menu, select or Actions
