You can enable or disable the NetBackup SAN client on Veritas Access. The NetBackup SAN client should only be enabled on Veritas Access if the required licenses are installed on the NetBackup Master Server.

  • To enable or disable the NetBackup SAN client, enter the following:
    Backup> netbackup sanclient enable | disable

    enable

    Enables the NetBackup SAN client.

    disable

    Disables the NetBackup SAN client.

Success.
