Server group properties

The server group properties includes the following options:

Table:

Property Description

Server group name

The name of the server group.

You cannot change the name of an existing server group.

Symantec recommends that server group names be unique. That is, do not use the same name for a server group that you use for a host such as a media server. If you do, you may not be able to determine easily if a tape is restricted to a specific media server or to a specific media server group.

Server group type

The type of server group.

See About server groups.

Other server group types (such as Alternate Restore) are reserved for future use.

State

Specify the state of the server group:

  • Active. The server group is available for use.

  • Inactive. The server group is not available for use.

To change the state, select the new state from the dropdown box.

Description

A description of the media server group.

Servers in group

The servers (and the server type) that belong to the group.

Servers not in group

The servers (and the server type) that do not belong to the group.
