NetBackup™ for DB2 Administrator's Guide

Configuring a primary bp.conf file

The following procedures explain how to create a primary bp.conf file on the physical client host. This file allows other backups to be performed on the host.

To create a system-wide primary bp.conf file

  1. Log on to the physical host.
  2. Open the bp.conf file in the /usr/openv/netbackup directory.
  3. Set the CLIENT_NAME entry to the physical host name of the NetBackup for DB2 client. This action allows other backups to be performed on the host.

    For example:

    CLIENT_NAME=client_name
  4. Save and close the bp.conf file.
