About configuring legacy encryption from the server
You can configure most NetBackup clients for encryption by using the bpinst command from the server.
Prerequisites for this method include the following:
The NetBackup client software must be running on a platform that supports NetBackup encryption.
Refer to the NetBackup Release Notes for details on supported platforms.
The NetBackup clients must be running the required NetBackup version.
If a clustered server is a client for NetBackup encryption, ensure that all nodes in the cluster have the same key file.
The bpinst command is loaded into the NetBackup bin directory on the server as follows:
For a Windows server, the bin directory is as follows
install_path\NetBackup\bin
For a UNIX server, the bin directory is as follows
/usr/openv/netbackup/bin
See the bpinst command description in the NetBackup Commands Reference Guide for details about the options that are available with the bpinst command.
For examples about how to use bpinst:
See About pushing the legacy encryption configuration to clients.
See About pushing the legacy encryption pass phrases to clients.
Normally, you specify client names in the bpinst command. However, if you include the -policy_names option, you specify policy names instead. The option affects all clients in the specified policies.
