Adding NetBackup Deduplication Engine credentials

You may need to add the NetBackup Deduplication Engine credentials to an existing storage server or load balancing server. For example, disaster recovery may require that you add the credentials.

Add the same credentials that you already use in your environment.

Another procedure exists to add a load balancing server to your configuration.

See Adding an MSDP load balancing server.

To add NetBackup Deduplication Engine credentials by using the tpconfig command

  • On the host to which you want to add credentials, run the following command:

    On Windows:

    install_path\Veritas\NetBackup\Volmgr\bin\tpconfig -add -storage_server sshostname -stype PureDisk -sts_user_id UserID -password PassWord

    On UNIX/Linux:

    /usr/openv/volmgr/bin/tpconfig -add -storage_server sshostname -stype PureDisk -sts_user_id UserID -password PassWord

    For sshostname, use the name of the storage server.
