Authorizing a DBA to register instances or availability replicas with the nbsqladm command

The NetBackup administrator can authorize a DBA to use the nbsqladm to register instances or replicas if the DBA wants to manage SQL Server credentials independently. From the primary server the NetBackup administrator can control the list of users and hosts that can run nbsqladm on the NetBackup client.

For example, the NetBackup administrator can authorize the user john_smith on host winserver.domain.com with the following command:

nbsqladm -add_dba winserver.domain.com john_smith

From the NetBackup client, winserver.domain.com, john_smith can register and manage instances or replicas. For example, the DBA can register an instance with local credentials as follows:

nbsqladm -S NBUmaster1 -register_instance hr_city1 
- host winserver.domain.com -local_credentials

More information on the nbsqladm command is available. See the NetBackup Commands Guide.
