Configuring a user bp.conf file
NetBackup options in the bp.conf file of the home directory of the DB2 instance owner take precedence over the same options in the master bp.conf file. The following procedure explains how to create a bp.conf file on the virtual machine that owns the DB2 instance.
To create a system bp.conf file on the virtual host
- Log into the computer that owns the DB2 instance.
- Use vi(1) or another editor to open file $DB2_INSTANCE_HOME/bp.conf.
- Add a line that sets the CLIENT_NAME entry to the virtual name of the DB2 instance.
For example:
CLIENT_NAME=client_name
- Save and close the file.
