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 configure. You must configure as storage
servers the NetBackup media servers that have read and write access to the storage.
