Allow NetBackup for OpenStack VM on NetBackup master server

To use the NetBackup for OpenStack VM, you must configure it with the master server. Perform the procedure on the NetBackup master server to allow the communication with NetBackup for OpenStack VM.

This is a security practice used for restricting systems from running software or applications unless these have been approved for safe execution.

To allow NetBackup for OpenStack VM on NetBackup master server

  • Run the following command on the NetBackup master server:
    • For UNIX

      bpsetconfig -h masterserver

      bpsetconfig> APP_PROXY_SERVER = nbosvm1.domain.org

      bpsetconfig> APP_PROXY_SERVER = nbosvm2.domain.org

      bpsetconfig> APP_PROXY_SERVER = nbosvm3.domain.org

      bpsetconfig>

      UNIX systems: <ctl-D>

    • For Windows

      bpsetconfig -h masterserver

      bpsetconfig> APP_PROXY_SERVER = nbosvm1.domain.org

      bpsetconfig> APP_PROXY_SERVER = nbosvm2.domain.org

      bpsetconfig> APP_PROXY_SERVER = nbosvm3.domain.org

      bpsetconfig>

      Windows systems: <ctl-Z>

    Note:

    If NetBackup for OpenStack VM is a three-node cluster, you must add all three nodes on the master server.

This command sets the APP_PROXY_SERVER = clientname entry in the backup configuration (bp.conf) file.

For more information about the APP_PROXY_SERVER = clientname, refer to the Configuration options for NetBackup clients section in NetBackup Administrator's Guide, Volume I
