About pushing the legacy encryption configuration to clients
You can use the -crypt_option and -crypt_strength options on the bpinst command to set encryption-related configuration on NetBackup clients as follows:
The -crypt_option option specifies whether the client should deny encrypted backups (denied), allow encrypted backups (allowed), or require encrypted backups (required).
The -crypt_strength option specifies the DES key length (40 or 56) that the client should use for encrypted backups.
To install the encryption client software and require encrypted backups with a 56-bit DES key, use the following command from the server:
bpinst -LEGACY_CRYPT -crypt_option required -crypt_strength des_56 \ -policy_names policy1 policy2
The example uses a UNIX continuation character (\) because it is long. To allow either encrypted or non-encrypted backups with a 40-bit DES key, use the following command:
bpinst -LEGACY_CRYPT -crypt_option allowed -crypt_strength des_40 \ client1 client2
In clustered environments you can do the following:
Note:
The master server USE_VXSS setting in bp.conf should be set to AUTOMATIC. Use this setting when pushing from an NBAC enabled master to a host that does not have NetBackup previously installed. Also use this setting when NBAC has not enabled the master server'sUSE_VXSS setting in bp.conf.
