NetBackup appliance initial configuration checklist

This checklist is intended to help you plan for the initial configuration of your appliance.

Use this checklist together with the initial configuration procedures in the NetBackup Appliance Initial Configuration Guide. That document also contains a copy of this checklist.

For a new appliance, use the following tables to record the initial configuration settings for this appliance. If this appliance is ever factory reset or re-imaged, the appliance must be configured again. The recorded settings in the checklist can save valuable time and help get the appliance back on line quickly.

When using the hard copy or printed version of this checklist, make sure to place the completed checklist in a secure location.
