Configure the DTE mode on the media server
The media server setting can be used only to turn off data-in-transit encryption (DTE) for NetBackup operations.
In a NetBackup configuration where a media server is slow because of the old hardware, you can turn off the media server DTE mode so that there is no performance issue. However, it is recommended that you upgrade the old media server hardware. This setting is available for media servers with NetBackup 10.0 and later.
RESTful API to be used for the global DTE configuration:
GET - /config/media-servers/{hostName}
PATCH - /config/media-servers/{hostName}
To set or view the media server DTE mode
- Ensure that you have an RBAC role with the following permissions on the media server resource:
View
Update
Manage access
See Default RBAC roles.
- Run the following command to set the media server DTE mode:
nbseccmd -setsecurityconfig -dtemediamode off|on -mediaserver media_server_name
- Run the following command to view the media server DTE mode:
nbseccmd -getsecurityconfig -dtemediamode -mediaserver media_server_name
Note:
For 9.1 media servers, you can only view the DTE mode as On, but you cannot set it.
