How to add host/clients to Netbackup admin console

[mstinnet]

Does anyone know how to add a host name or how to add clients to the clients section using Netbackup admin console? Because some of the one that are already there will not connect to the right server and i just need to edit or add new clients.

Just to note all the servers that I want to connect too does have the client netbackup installed.

I'm fairly new to NetBackup, but to add new clients I go into the relevant policy and add them there. You have to manually specify the client/host name and then select the relevant hardware and OS from the drop down list.

After this is done (and you've checked comms between the boxes using PING) you should see the host name appear under Clients section of the console.

In Backup Policy Management, select the "class" that the clients belong to, click on "clients", click on "Edit", "New", and in the "Client name" field, enter the hostname of the client, and in the "Hardware and operating system" field, select that information from the dropdown arrow. If you want to edit or delete a client, just select the existing client, press the right-mouse button and select "Change" or "Delete" as needed.
