Before you configure storage devices in NetBackup, ensure that the following prerequisites are accomplished:
The storage devices must be attached to the computer and recognized by the operating system. The server platforms that NetBackup supports may require operating system configuration changes to allow device discovery.
The NetBackup Device Configuration Guide provides information about how to configure device drivers for the systems that NetBackup supports.
If the host on which you configure devices in NetBackup is not the Enterprise Media Manager server, add it to the NetBackup additional servers list.
See Servers properties.
NetBackup hosts are added automatically to the list of additional servers if the EMM server is running when the host is installed.
If the EMM server is not running, use the nbemmcmd -addhost command to add the host.
