DTE_IGNORE_IMAGE_MODE for NetBackup servers

Use the DTE_IGNORE_IMAGE_MODE option if you do not want the data to be encrypted even if the data-in-transit encryption (DTE) mode of the backup image is enabled.

The DTE_IGNORE_IMAGE_MODE option is applicable for all backup images.

Table: DTE_IGNORE_IMAGE_MODE information

Usage

Description

Where to use

On NetBackup servers.

How to use

Use the nbgetconfig and the nbsetconfig commands to view, add, or change the option.

For information about these commands, see the NetBackup Commands Reference Guide.

Use the following format:

DTE_IGNORE_IMAGE_MODE = NEVER | ALWAYS | WHERE_UNSUPPORTED

The default value of the DTE_IGNORE_IMAGE_MODE option is NEVER.

  • NEVER - Use this option to specify that the data-in-transit encryption takes place based on the DTE mode of the image.

  • ALWAYS - Use this option to specify that the DTE mode of the image is always ignored during data-in-transit encryption irrespective of whether the NetBackup host supports the encryption or not. Data-in-transit encryption takes place based on the global DTE mode and client DTE mode.

  • WHERE_UNSUPPORTED - Use this option if you have NetBackup hosts earlier than 9.1 in your environment and you do not want the jobs to fail for these hosts when the DTE mode is enabled for the image. With this configuration, data-in-transit encryption happens based on the global and client DTE mode settings. The image DTE mode is ignored.

Equivalent Administration Console property
