Including the configuration file path on NetBackup master server allowed list
After you create the configuration file, you must include the path of the configuration file on the allowed list so that NetBackup lets the backup operation to run successfully. Run the allowed procedure on a NetBackup master server.
Allowlisting is a security practice used for restricting systems from running software or applications unless these have been approved for safe execution.
To place the configuration file path on the allowed list:
Run the following command on the NetBackup master server:
- For UNIX:
bpsetconfig -h masterserver_name bpsetconfig bpcd_allowed_path= /usr/openv/var/global/
Exit the command line.
For clustered master server:
bpsetconfig bpcd_allowed_path=/<shared drive mount location>/var/global/
- For Windows:
bpsetconfig -h masterserver_name bpsetconfig bpcd_allowed_path= <install_dir>\NetBackup\var\global\
For clustered master server:
bpsetconfig bpcd_allowed_path=<Shared drive>\NetBackup\var\global\
Exit the command line.
For more information about BPCD_Allowed_PATH, see the Configuration options for NetBackup servers section in the NetBackup Administrator's Guide, Volume I.
