NetBackup™ for VMware Administrator's Guide

Optional permissions for better integration with VMware vSphere

These permissions allow NetBackup to send backup-related events and create and set custom attributes or annotations. The NetBackup plug-in for VMware vSphere Client can take advantage of this data but is not required to see it from the vCenter Web Client UI.

  • LogEvent

  • SetCustomAttribute

Note:

If encryption policies are used, additional privileges for cryptographic operations may be necessary.

The Post vCenter events option in the advanced attributes of a VMware policy lets NetBackup send backup-related events to the vCenter server.

See Post vCenter events option (VMware advanced attributes).
