Storix System Backup Administrator 40 Version 8.2 User Guide
Here you will need to enter the Group ID as defined on the remote Administrator that will be accessing the
server (see
Configuring Group to determine Group ID), and the hostname or IP of the remote
Administrator.
Now that the server has been shared on the first Administrator, the remote Administrator will have to add
the shared server. To do so, refer to
Adding a Server . Once the shared server is configured on the remote
Administrator, jobs may be configured to write to the shared server (see Creating a Backup Job for more
information).
Configuring Server Devices
The second listbox shows all of the devices (tape or directory) configured on the server. You may add,
change or remove devices by selecting a device and the appropriate button below. This is simply a shortcut
to the same configuration screen which appears when selecting
Configure !Devices from the menu bar
Client Directory for CDROM and Network Boot Images
When a bootable CDROM image or a network boot image is created for a client, allowing it to be booted
from CDROM or over the network, the images must be created on the client, but may stored on the boot
server. You can later select images from this directory to copy to a CDROM drive or configure for network
boot of a client.
Alternate Networks
This field allows you to enter the optional IP Addresses or Hostnames pointing to alternate network
adapters on the server. These “alternate networks” may be used by clients to backup, restore, or boot from
the server when the primary network (that used between the admin system and server) is not available to
the client, or to simply move the network backup data traffic off of the primary network.
If no entry is made in these fields, the same network adapter used to communicate with the admin system
will be used to communicate with the clients. To add alternate networks for the server, type the IP
addresses or hostnames, separated by spaces.
After adding entries in this field, you will be able to select that network for the server whenever creating a
backup job, restoring data, booting or re-installing a client from this server.
Although alternate network adapters may be set in the server configuration, they will
NOT be used by default. For the alternate adapter to be used, you must select the
Use Alternate IP/Hostname option when
configuring backup jobs or Network
Boot/Install Configuration (see the SBAdmin System Recovery Guide ).
