Including a NetBackup client on NetBackup primary server allowed list
To use the NetBackup client as a backup host, you must include it in the allowed list. Perform the allow list procedure on the NetBackup primary server .
Allowlisting is a security practice used for restricting systems from running software or applications unless these have been approved for safe execution.
To place a NetBackup client on NetBackup primary server on the allowed list
- Run the following command on the NetBackup primary server:
For UNIX
bpsetconfig -h primaryserver
bpsetconfig> APP_PROXY_SERVER = clientname1.domain.org
bpsetconfig> APP_PROXY_SERVER = clientname2.domain.org
bpsetconfig>
UNIX systems: <ctl+D>
For Windows
bpsetconfig -h primaryserver
bpsetconfig> APP_PROXY_SERVER = clientname1.domain.org
bpsetconfig> APP_PROXY_SERVER = clientname2.domain.org
bpsetconfig>
Windows systems: <ctl+Z>
For more information about the bpsetconfig command, refer to the NetBackup Commands Reference Guide.
This command sets the APP_PROXY_SERVER = clientname entry in the backup configuration (bp.conf) file.
