NBAC configuration overview

This topic contains recommendations for configuring NetBackup Access Control (NBAC) using the bpnbaz command. This command is available under the install_path/bin/admincmd directory.

The bpnbaz utility is required to configure NBAC on the primary servers, media servers, and clients. This tool also configures NBAC for all the back revision media's and client's hosts. Note that the services should be restarted on each of the servers and clients after configuration. For an example of how to use these commands with specific details on recommended usage, see the following topic:

See NBAC configure commands summary.

Since the configuration is done from the primary server, ensure that operational communications links exist between the primary server, the media servers, and the clients. Review the prerequisites to ensure that you have noted all the associated media servers, clients, and the addresses to communicate with them.

See About using NetBackup Access Control (NBAC).

A set of OS commands and one NetBackup command is useful for the first level of troubleshooting. The OS commands are ping, traceroute, and telnet. The NetBackup command is bpclntcmd. Use these commands to establish that the hosts can communicate with each other. See the following topic for troubleshooting information:
