Disable communication with NetBackup 8.0 and earlier hosts

NetBackup allows communication with NetBackup 8.0 and earlier hosts that are present in the environment. However, this communication is insecure. For increased security, upgrade all your hosts to the current NetBackup version and disable this setting. This action ensures that only secure communication is possible between NetBackup hosts. If you use Auto Image Replication (A.I.R.), you must upgrade the trusted primary server for image replication to NetBackup 8.1 or later.

To disable communication with NetBackup 8.0 and earlier hosts

  1. At the top right, select Security > Global security.
  2. Select the Secure communications tab.
  3. Turn off Enable communication with NetBackup 8.0 and earlier hosts.
  4. Select Save.
