Including the configuration file path in the allowed list on the NetBackup primary server
After you create the configuration file, you must include the path of the configuration file on the allowed list. This action allows the backup operation to run successfully. Perform the allowed list procedure on a NetBackup primary server.
Allowlisting is a security practice used for restricting systems from running software or applications unless these have been approved for safe execution.
To place the configuration file path on the allowed list:
- Run the following command on the NetBackup primary server:
For UNIX:
bpsetconfig -h primaryserver_name bpsetconfig bpcd_allowed_path = /usr/openv/var/global/
Exit the command line.
- For Windows:
bpsetconfig -h primaryserver_name bpsetconfig bpcd_allowed_path = <install_dir>\NetBackup\var\global\
Exit the command line.
For more information about the bpsetconfig command, refer to the NetBackup Commands Reference Guide.
For more information about bpcd_allowed_path, see the Configuration options for NetBackup servers section in the NetBackup Administrator's Guide, Volume I.
