NetBackup™ Security and Encryption Guide

Automatically mapping host ID to host names and IP addresses

For successful communication between NetBackup hosts, all relevant host names and IP addresses need to be mapped to the respective host IDs. You can choose to automatically map the host ID to the respective host names (and IP addresses) or allow the NetBackup Administrator to verify the mappings before approving them.

See Add or Remove Host Mappings dialog box.

Note:

For increased security, clear this option so that the NetBackup Administrator can manually verify the mappings and approve them.

To automatically map host ID to host names or IP addresses

  1. In the NetBackup Administration Console, expand Security Management > Global Security Settings.
  2. In the details pane, click the Secure Communication tab.
  3. Select the Automatically map host ID to host names option.
  4. Click Save.

See About secure communication settings.
