SAN Client license
only.
SAN Clients shows information about the SAN
clients in the configuration and their connections to the FT media
servers. SAN clients communicate with NetBackup media servers using
a Fibre Transport (FT) connection, which provides high-speed backup
to shared disk arrays in the SAN.
See Table: SAN
clients list.
If you select a client in
the details pane, another panes appears that shows information
about that client and the FT media servers it detects. The server
name, server HBA number, and the server LUN specify a unique Fibre
Transport connection target device. If the client has multiple
Fibre Channel HBA ports, the same Fibre Transport target mode
device can appear more than once.
