NetBackup™ Self Service Configuration Guide

Enabling communication with a NetBackup appliance

Note:

This section is only required for pre-NetBackup 10.3 versions. For NetBackup 10.3 and later it is not required.

A connection to an appliance is configured similarly to a UNIX primary server, but configuration of keys is not available. Use a previously created user name and password to make the connection.

Log on to shell menu on the appliance and create a new user:

Main_Menu > Manage > NetBackupCLI > Create UserName

See Creating NetBackup administrator user accounts in the NetBackup Appliance Administrator's Guide for further details.
