Configuring an AdvancedDisk storage server

Configure in this context means to configure as a storage server a NetBackup media server that can mount the storage.

Use the Storage Server Configuration Wizard to configure a storage server. However, if you want to configure preferred or required attributes, use the nbdevconfig command.

You can configure multiple storage servers. If you do, you must run the wizard for each storage server you want to configuration. You must configure as storage servers the NetBackup media servers that have read and write access to the storage.

When you configure a storage server, it also is configured as a data mover.
