FIPS compliance operational notes

When the Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) option is enabled on NetBackup clustered primary server with MSCS cluster, the NetBackup Authorization service fails to start that results in NetBackup server role being offline.

Workaround

To workaround this issue, do one of the following:

  • Remove the NetBackup Authorization service as an MSCS managed service, from the cluster manager.

  • Remove the NetBackup Authorization service. Run the following commands:

    • Install_Path\NetBackup\bin\bpclusterutil -disableSvc nbazd

    • Install_Path\NetBackup\bin\bpclusterutil -deleteSvc nbazd

Note:

If NetBackup Accesss Control (NBAC) is enabled, FIPS mode cannot be enabled and is not supported.
