Configuring the file hash server
The file hash server is used to store and search all file hashes in one NetBackup domain. You must configure the file hash server first and then configure the backup policy to calculate the file hash.
See Calculating the file hash.
Ensure that the following prerequisites are met if the file hash server is not installed with MSDP storage server:
Ensure that NGINX is installed and running on the server. The minimum recommended NGINX version is 1.24.0.
If SE Linux is configured, ensure that the
policycoreutilsandpolicycoreutils-python(for RHEL 7) orpolicycoreutils-python-utils(for RHEL 8) packages are installed from the same RHEL Yum source (RHEL server) and then run the following commands:semanage port -a -t http_port_t -p tcp 10087
setsebool -P httpd_can_network_connect 1
Ensure that the search server is installed on RedHat Enterprise Linux media server.
Enable the logrotate permission in SELinux using the following command:
semanage permissive -a logrotate_t
The file hash server supports only the security certificates that the NetBackup certificate authority issues.
The file hash server name must be the same as the NetBackup media server, which is the NetBackup host name in thebp.conffile.
To configure the file hash server
- Run the following command to configure file hash server on the media server.
/usr/openv/pdde/pdcr/bin/fhdb_config.sh --hash-storage-path=<hash_db_path>
