Adding a backup host to the NetBackup master access list

When the backup host is not a NetBackup master server, media server, or an appliance, you need to add the backup host to the NetBackup NutanixAHV Access Hosts list.

To add a backup host to NetBackup master access list using the NetBackup Administration Console

  1. In the NetBackup Administration Console, in the left pane, click NetBackup Management > Host Properties.
  2. In the master server's Host Properties dialog box, click NutanixAHV Access Hosts.
  3. To add the backup host to NetBackup master access list, click Add.

    In the New Server dialog box, enter the name of the backup host. Click Add.

To add a backup host to NetBackup master access list using the command line

  1. Use the bpsetconfig command to set the value of NTNXAHV_PROXY_SERVER as follows:

    set NTNXAHV_PROXY_SERVER = FQDN.backup.host

    Repeat the step to add multiple backup hosts.

  2. Save the changes and verify the changes that are stored in the bp.conf file using the following command:

    nbgetconfig | grep NTNXAHV_PROXY_SERVER

For more information about the bpsetconfig and nbgetconfig commands, refer to the NetBackup Commands Reference Guide.

See Adding a backup host to the Acropolis Cluster access list.
