Whitelisting a backup host on NetBackup master server
To use the NetBackup client as a backup host, you must whitelist it. Perform the whitelisting procedure on the 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 a backup host on NetBackup master server
- Run the following command on the NetBackup master server:
For UNIX
bpsetconfig -h masterserver
bpsetconfig> APP_PROXY_SERVER = clientname1.domain.org
bpsetconfig> APP_PROXY_SERVER = clientname2.domain.org
bpsetconfig>
UNIX systems: <ctl-D>
For Windows
bpsetconfig -h masterserver
bpsetconfig> APP_PROXY_SERVER = clientname1.domain.org
bpsetconfig> APP_PROXY_SERVER = clientname2.domain.org
bpsetconfig>
Windows systems: <ctl-Z>
This command sets the APP_PROXY_SERVER = clientname entry in the backup configuration (bp.conf) file.
For more information about the APP_PROXY_SERVER = clientname, refer to the Configuration options for NetBackup clients section in NetBackup Administrator's Guide, Volume I
