Adding a NetBackup client to the allowed list
To use the NetBackup client as a backup host, you must add it to the allowed list. Perform this procedure on the NetBackup primary server.
Adding a host to an allowed list is a security practice used for restricting systems from running software or applications unless these have been approved for safe execution.
To add a NetBackup client to the allowed list
- Run the following command on the NetBackup primary server:
For UNIX
The directory path to the command: /usr/openv/var/global/bin/admincmd/bpsetconfig
bpsetconfig -h primaryserver
bpsetconfig> APP_PROXY_SERVER = clientname.domain.org
bpsetconfig>
UNIX systems: <ctl-D>
For Windows
The directory path to the command: <install_path>\NetBackup\bin\admincmd\bpsetconfig
bpsetconfig -h primaryserver
bpsetconfig> APP_PROXY_SERVER = clientname1.domain.org
bpsetconfig> APP_PROXY_SERVER = clientname2.domain.org
bpsetconfig>
Windows systems: <ctl-Z>
This command sets the APP_PROXY_SERVER = clientname entry in the backup configuration (bp.conf) file or the Windows registry.
For more information about the APP_PROXY_SERVER = clientname, refer to the Configuration options for NetBackup clients section in the NetBackup Administrator's Guide, Volume I.
