Whitelisting the configuration file path on NetBackup master server
After you create the configuration file, you must whitelist the path of the configuration file so that NetBackup lets the backup operation to run successfully. Run the whitelisting procedure on a NetBackup master server.
Whitelisting is a security practice used for restricting systems from running software or applications unless these have been approved for safe execution.
To whitelist the configuration file path:
Run the following command on the NetBackup master server:
- For UNIX:
bpsetconfig -h masterserver_name bpsetconfig BPCD_WHITELIST_PATH = /usr/openv/var/global/
Exit the command line
- For Windows:
bpsetconfig -h masterserver_name bpsetconfig BPCD_WHITELIST_PATH = <install_dir>\NetBackup\var\global\
Exit the command line
For more information about the bpsetconfig command, refer to the NetBackup Commands Reference Guide.
For more information about BPCD_WHITELIST_PATH, see the Configuration options for NetBackup servers section in the NetBackup Administrator's Guide, Volume I.
