The following procedure describes how to configure NBAC on standalone master servers.

Note:

Use -setupmaster and set USE_VXSS = AUTOMATIC on the master server. If USE_VXSS = REQUIRED is set on the master server and an attempt is made to configure NBAC on media server, the following error can occur: NetBackup master server is configured in REQUIRED Mode. Please change the mode to AUTOMATIC to complete configuration of the media server.

Configuring NBAC on standalone master servers

  2. Run the bpnbaz -setupmaster command.

    Enter y. The system begins to gather configuration information. Then, the system begins to set up the authorization information.

  3. Restart the NetBackup services on this computer after the bpnbaz -setupmaster command completes successfully.
  4. Proceed to set up the media servers.
