Adding clients to a policy

The client list contains a list of the clients on which your scripts are run during an automatic backup or the clients that can send backup requests to the application schedule. A NetBackup client must be in at least one policy but can be in more than one.

For a NetBackup for DB2 policy, clients you want to add must have the following items installed or available:

DB2
NetBackup client or server
The backup or restore scripts, unless you use templates

To add clients to a policy

Open the policy you want to edit or create a new policy.
To access the Policy dialog box, double-click the policy name in the Policies list in the NetBackup Administration Console.
Click the Clients tab and click New.
Type the name of the client and select the hardware and operating system of the client.
If DB2 is installed in a cluster, specify the virtual name of the DB2 server as the client name.
Note:
If you installed NetBackup on more than one node in the DB2 cluster, you must perform additional configuration.
