Veritas NetBackup™ for DB2 Administrator's Guide

Configuring bp.conf files in a cluster environment

If you configure NetBackup for DB2 in a cluster environment, you need to create the NetBackup bp.conf files in multiple places.

Create the file in the following places:

  • In /usr/openv/netbackup/bp.conf on the physical client host. This file is the master bp.conf configuration file.

  • In the DB2 user's home directory on each virtual host.

NetBackup searches for the bp.conf file in the DB2 user's home directory first. Specifications in the user bp.conf file override those in the master bp.conf file.
