Disabling FIPS mode for NetBackup MSDP

You can disable the FIPS mode for NetBackup MSDP for each Veritas Data Deduplication server that is configured for the cluster. A maximum of two Veritas Data Deduplication servers can be configured for the cluster.

To disable the FIPS mode for NetBackup MSDP, complete the following steps:

  1. Log in to the Access Appliance web interface of the configured cluster by opening a supported browser and typing:

    http://console-ip:14161

    where console-ip is the management console IP address where the web interface is hosted.

  2. In the navigation pane, click Settings, and then click Security management.
  3. On the FIPS tab under MSDP status, for the Veritas Data Deduplication server for which you want to enable the FIPS mode click the Actions menu (three vertical dots), and then click Disable.
  4. To monitor the progress, click View details on the Security page. The ongoing and completed tasks for the operation are also displayed in Recent activity.
