Configuring a NetBackup Deduplication Engine user with limited permissions for Auto Image Replication
MSDP supports the creation of a user specifically for Auto Image Replication. A user with permissions limited to Auto Image Replication is more secure than a user with administrative permissions.
To configure a NetBackup Deduplication Engine user with limited permissions for Auto Image Replication, complete the following steps:
Run the following command on the target MSDP server to add a user for AIR:
Windows
<install_path>/pdde/spauser -a -u <username> -p <password> --role air --owner root
UNIX
/usr/openv/pdde/pdcr/bin/spauser -a -u <username> -p <password> --role air --owner root
During configuration of MSDP as a replication target on the source NetBackup master server, enter the user name and password of the user with limited permissions for AIR.
