NetBackup Appliance
The appliances are rack-mount servers that run on the Linux operating system.
NetBackup Enterprise Server software is already installed and configured to work

To use the NetBackup Enterprise Server software on the NetBackup appliance with
the supported Fibre Channel (FC) features, you must configure the appliance FC
settings first.
