Max data streams per client
I have a few SAN attach clients and a few other Lan based clients for backup on my network. Currently using NBU 6.5.4 as the backup tool. The global settings for ' Max jobs per client' is set to 3. While I want to maintain 3 streams for Lan based clients, I want to increase this to 6 for SAN attach clients. Since the Max jobs per client is a global setting, I intend to implement this as follows. Pls confirm if this is the correct way.
1. Set the 'Max jobs per client' in the Global attributes section of the master server to 6
2. Go to the Client attributes of each of the LAN based client and set the ' MAX DATA STREAMS' to 3
3. Enable the 'Allow multiple data streams' in the policy
Will this force the LAN based clients to run with 3 streams max while the SAN attach clients run at a max of 6 streams concurrently ?
Are there any other methods of implementing this ?
Thanks in advance

Correction to number 2: Host
Correction to number 2:
Host Properties -> Master -> Client Attributes -> Add/Select LAN client names -> Specify Maximum Data Streams.
Your configuration will work.
Supporting Storage Foundation and VCS on Unix and Windows as well as NetBackup on Unix and Windows.
Handy NBU links
change max_jobs for the SAN client to 6
If you few SAN clients and a LOT of LAN clients, it might be easier to change max_jobs for the SAN client to 6 and leave globar parameter at 3. max_jobs takes precedence over the global parameter for those SAN clients.
/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd/bpclient -client <client-name> -update -max_jobs 6
