2. Make “ SERVER = media_server_name” “DEVICE_HOST =
media_server_name” “KNOWN= media_server_name” in vm.conf
3. If fqdn is being used in configuration file , make a alias in NB EMM database to
use short alias name for the server.(optional)
Command:
nbemmcmd -machinealias [-brief]
[-addalias -alias <string> -machinename <string>]
[-deletealias -alias <string>]
[-deleteallaliases -machinename <string>]
[-getaliases -machinename <string>]
-machinetype <api | app_cluster | cluster | master | media | ndmp >

Installation on Media Server:


1. Install ICS
2. Install Netbackup 6.5
3. Install all patches after un-archiving them all in one directory(to make sure
interdependency of patches is met)
4. add “REQUIRED_INTERFACE = 20.22.187.150” to bp.conf(if there are
multiple interfaces on media server and backup traffic needs to go through a
particular interface)

Configuration of Tape Drive
