NetBackup™ Security and Encryption Guide

Failure during communication with 8.0 or earlier hosts

If insecure communication is not allowed in NetBackup, communication with 8.0 and earlier hosts fails. For successful communication with 8.0 and earlier NetBackup hosts, use one of the following methods:

  • In the NetBackup Administration Console on the master server host, select the Security Management > Global Security > Hosts > Enable insecure communication with NetBackup 8.0 and earlier hosts option.

  • On the master server host, run the following command: nbseccmd -setsecurityconfig -insecurecommunication on.
