Enabling communication with a Windows NetBackup master server

NetBackup Self Service uses Windows PowerShell Remoting to communicate with a Windows NetBackup master server. Windows PowerShell must be installed on the master server. Windows PowerShell is normally installed by default. Additionally, PowerShell Remoting must be enabled. More information is available.

http://technet.microsoft.com/library/hh847859.aspx

To enable communication with a Windows NetBackup master server

  1. Log on to the NetBackup master server.
  2. Launch a Windows PowerShell window as Administrator.
  3. Run Enable-PSRemoting -Force.
  4. Open Required Firewall ports.

    By Default PowerShell Remoting uses HTTP on Port 5985 or HTTPS on Port 5986.

More information is available.

http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/ff700227.aspx

If communication with the master server from the Self Service Server is not with a trusted domain account, it may not be able to authenticate. To enable authentication you need to add the remote computer to the list of trusted hosts for the local computer in WinRM. To do so, type:

winrm set winrm/config/client '@{TrustedHosts="machine1,machine2"}'

Add extra computers as needed in the comma-separated list.

More information about testing the connection once you have created your first backup server is available.
