■ On the target appliance, you must enable FT for use as the target for optimized
duplication and replication. You can customize the port configuration on the
source and the target appliance. Note that the target mode and ports are different
than those for SAN Client Fibre Transport media server (FTMS).
Note: When you perform duplication or replication jobs from the NetBackup
Administration Console, you can monitor the jobs by using the Activity Monitor.
But in the Detailed Status tab, the Transport Type field always reports LAN for
jobs over FC. To see the correct transport type, refer to the details in the Status
box.
See “About Fibre Transport paths for NetBackup appliances” on page 27.
See “Configuring Fibre Transport for optimized duplication and Auto Image
Replication over FC” on page 67.
See “About FTMS reserved HBA ports and the factory default port mode
configuration” on page 32.
See “Settings > Network > Fibre Transport” on page 59.
Supported data transfer methods for NetBackup
appliances
Table 1-1 describes the supported data transfer methods between NetBackup
appliances. Specifically, NetBackup deduplication appliance models 5020 or 5030
and NetBackup appliance models 5220, 5230, 5240, 53xx or 5340. The information
includes whether the supported method uses Fibre Channel (FC) or TCP/IP.
Note: The supported methods over TCP/IP are also supported with non-appliance
NetBackup servers. But optimized duplication and Auto Image Replication over FC
are only supported withNetBackup appliance products. Depending on the HBA
configuration, some appliances cannot be used as the target appliance for optimized
duplication and Auto Image Replication.
