How to add the MongoDB credentials in NetBackup
Use the tpconfig command to add credentials in NetBackup primary server.
For more information about the tpconfig command, see the NetBackup Commands Reference Guide.
Before you run the tpconfig command, ensure to remove all the earlier entries for the MongoDB nodes.
To run the tpconfig command:
- Run tpconfig command from the following directory paths:
On UNIX systems, /<install_directory>/volmgr/bin/
On Windows systems, <install_path>\volmgr\bin\
- Run the tpconfig --help command. A list of options which are required to add, update, and delete MongoDB credentials is displayed.
To add credentials for all of the authentication types:
- Run the following command by providing appropriate values for each options to add MongoDB credentials.
tpconfig -add -application_server app_server_name-mongod_port_number -application_type mongodb -requiredport mongod_port_number -application_server_conf /<install_directory>/var/global/mongodb_cred_file.conf
Where:
application_server is mongodb_hostname-mongodport
application_server_conf is a credential file to add support for single or multiple mongod per MongoDB cluster
You can use the -update or -delete options of the tpconfig command to update or delete the MongoDB credentials.
For more information, See About the credential configuration file.
- Run the tpconfig -dappservers command to verify if the NetBackup primary server has the MongoDB credentials added.
Note:
The encrypted credential configuration file (name:appservername-portnumber.conf) is created on the NetBackup primary server at the following location: /usr/openv/var/global/.
