About the MongoDB configuration tool
NetBackup provides a command line based configuration tool that enables you to accurately capture and update the information that is required to protect the MongoDB.
You can use the MongoDB configuration tool to generate the following files automatically:
The credentials file that configures the MongoDB cluster topology and credentials for NetBackup.
For more information about the credential configuration file and the manual method to create it, refer to the following topic:
The MongoDB configuration file that configures the global NetBackup parameters for the MongoDB cluster.
For more information about the MongoDB configuration file and the manual method to create it, refer to the following topic:
See Configuring backup options for MongoDB using the mongodb.conf file .
Note:
You can create the two files manually, but you must ensure that the formatting and the parameters are correct.
You can access the MongoDB configuration tool using the tpconfig command line on the NetBackup master server. The path to access the tpconfig command is /usr/openv/volmgr/bin/.
On a Windows master server run the tpconfig -mongo_configurationcommand to activate Mongo configuration interface.
On a Linux and Solaris master server, run ./tpconfig and tpconfig and select the fourth option for MongoDB configuration.
See Sample MongodB configuration utility workflow to add and update MongodB credentials.
For more information about the tpconfig command, refer to the NetBackup Commands Reference Guide.
Whitelist the mongodb.conf file path in bp.conf using the BPCD_WHITELIST_PATH option. For more information, See Whitelisting the configuration file path on NetBackup master server.
