sysadmin user
We are trying to upgrade our netbackup appliance from 3.1.2 to 4.1 and I have ran the Readiness Analyzer to make sure we are ready. One of the steps it is requiring is to change the default password on some of the accounts. One account it is requesting to change is the 'sysadmin' account. I see no account in the appliance for this, could this be the IPMI port? and if so, is there a way to change the password for it thru the CLISH? This is at a remote site for us.Solved1.6KViews0likes2CommentsI have a question about Automated Image Replication (AIR)
hello I have a question regarding A.I.R. Current configuration is nbumaster ---> nbudr You have to power off the nbudr server for 3 days this week. Suspend the SLP settings in the nbumaster server and power off the nbudr server. Backup of nbumaster server continues. What I am curious about here is that after 3 days, power on the nbudr server and unsuspend the SLP settings on the nbumaster server. Then I wonder if the three-day backup data will be replicated to the nbudr server. I wonder if this has anything to do with "Pending A.I.R import threshold" in SLP Parameters. As in the image above, if it is 24 hours, will only the pending image for one day be duplicated?958Views0likes2CommentsI need recommendations to update Appliance OS
Hello everybody! I need recommendations or advice that can guide me in this update task. Wehave an environment of 2 appliances (5230 and 5240) and both are in version OS 3.1 (and NetBackup 8.1), a large number of servers are backed up and we have various types of integrations. The NBU 5240 is the productive backup server where the data is backed up to MSDP disk, then it is replicated through AIR to the NBU 5230, where the SLPs take care that the data is duplicated to tape. Anyway I will generate a case to Veritas Support, so the reason for this query is, what is the best way to escalate this to Veritas Support? I think I would have to generate two different cases for each appliance. We would like to be able to update to a more recent version, in this way update the NetBackup systems to 8.2 or 8.3+. In your experience, what would be the best way to do it? We have some servers with NBU client 7.x in backup, should I take the necessary precautions and update the backup agents? Very grateful to be able to count on your feedback.Solved950Views0likes1CommentFLEX Appliance - Changing the SSH/WebConsole IP Address
Hi all, Had to start playing around with these little Nbu Docker/Container mutants, with their all new CLISH-ish shell. Managed to get the Web Console, a tenant and a Master Server instance running no problem. We're now trying to change the port-host0 management IP (basically the SSH/WebConsole IP) but found that the Web Console does not allow you to change it (you can only change tenant network, bonds, IPs in the Web Console). Basically port-host0 is missing in the Web Console, and the FLEX shell is missing build-in commands to change this IP also. FYI, you get to configure this IP when you first initialize the FLEX Appliance by running "setup configure-network". But after that there doesn't seem to be an easy way to change this IP. Please let me know I'm just overlooking a page or two in the guides. I'm starting to think the only way to do this is to sudo root powers and just use native linux commands, but I'd rather there is a "FLEX-supported" way. Thanks!2.3KViews0likes3CommentsNetBackup Appliance Software versus NetBackup Application Software
Hi, all. Studying on a Saturday and could use a little clarification ... Is there a page that explains the differences between the NBU Applicance software and the NBU Application software? I thought upgrading my 5230 appliance from 2.7.3 to 3.2 would include the 8.2 application version, but was told the two are separate and that upgradind to 3.2 is not a requirement of upgrading the application from 7.7.3 to 8.2.

Dear all, I really need your help regarding MSDP encryption. And I am confused about all what I read on the subject. What are my options to encrypt my deduplicated data on MSDP ? We have Netbackup appliance 8.1.1. I understand that I have two options: MSDP native encryption: -backup encrypt:For backups, the deduplication plug-in encrypts the data after it is deduplicated.The MSDPpd.conffileENCRYPTIONparameter controls backup encryption for individual hosts -Duplication and replication encryption :the deduplication plug-in on MSDP servers encrypts the data for transfer. The data is encrypted during transfer from the plug-in to the NetBackup Deduplication Engine on the target storage server and remains encrypted on the target storage. https://www.veritas.com/support/en_US/doc/25074086-127355784-0/v95643059-127355784 My questions: - For MSDP encryption, how it works ? how keys are generated and where are stored(on the client, in the MSDP catalog? file system ?) How to secure these keys ? - We are already backuping data. which means my segments of data are not encrypted. If I activate encryption on my clients, my new segments of data will be encrypted but not the old one ? Am I right ? Is there any solution to backup old data ? KMS with MSDP (available since version 8.1.1): I don't find much information on KMS for MSDP encyption. All I know that it is possible since version 8.1.1 =>https://www.veritas.com/support/en_US/doc/25074086-130388296-0/v130236116-130388296 KMS should be activated during the storage creation. Which means to use KMS and encrypt all my data. I shoul restart backuping all my data. Do you confirm ? have you any information on this ? To sum up, I found the documentation really confusing and I really need your help. Are you using encryption ? What are using for it ? Thank you so much for helping, Regards2.3KViews0likes1Comment
