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 clustered master server:
bpsetconfig BPCD_WHITELIST_PATH = /<shared drive mount location>/var/global/
- For Windows:
bpsetconfig -h masterserver_name bpsetconfig BPCD_WHITELIST_PATH = <install_dir>\NetBackup\var\global\
For clustered master server:
bpsetconfig BPCD_WHITELIST_PATH = <Shared drive>\NetBackup\var\global\
Exit the command line.
For more information about BPCD_WHITELIST_PATH, see the Configuration options for NetBackup servers section in the NetBackup Administrator's Guide, Volume I.
