Confirming client node registration and configuration

Edit online

Client nodes must be registered and configured for LAN-free backups.

Procedure

Verify that node settings are correct by issuing the following command: 
query node node_name format=detailed

What to do next

If node settings are not correct, issue the UPDATE NODE command to adjust the settings. If the node was not registered and configured for LAN-free backups, register the node with the REGISTER NODE command.

To improve performance of your LAN and SAN resources for LAN-free data movement, you can control the path that data transfers take for each LAN-free capable client. Use the REGISTER NODE and UPDATE NODE commands to specify whether data read/write operations use the LAN path only, the LAN-free path only, or either path.

If the node belongs to a multi-threaded client and there are drives available, the MAXNUMMP parameter might restrict the number of drives that are available for the storage agent to use on behalf of the client. Specify the MAXNUMMP parameter on the REGISTER NODE or UPDATE NODE command.
