Installation Type Considerations:
After changing the installation type, complete the following tasks:
◆ When a NetWorker client or storage node is changed to a NetWorker server, ensure
that the servers file for all of the NetWorker clients that will be backed up by the new
NetWorker server is updated to reflect the new NetWorker server. The
NetWorker 8.0
SP1 Administration Guide
provides information on how to modify the servers file.
◆ When a NetWorker server is changed to a NetWorker client or storage node:
•In the Client Properties window under the Globals (1 of 2) tab, update the Server
network Interface attribute for each client configuration, as required, with the
network interface of the new NetWorker server.
