Veritas NetBackup™ CloudPoint Install and Upgrade Guide

Prerequisites for the agentless configuration

Before you configure the agentless feature, do the following:

  • Have the following information with you:

    • Host user name

    • Host password or SSH key

    CloudPoint requires these details to gain access to the host and perform requested operations.

  • On hosts where you wish to configure this feature, grant password-less sudo access to the host user account that you provide to CloudPoint.

    See Granting password-less sudo access to host user account.
