NetBackup™ for Kubernetes Administrator's Guide

DTE client settings supported in Kubernetes

The DTE_CLIENT_MODE option specifies the data-in-transit encryption (DTE) mode that is set on the datamover via backupserver specific configmap. Data-in-transit encryption of backup images is carried out based on the global DTE mode and the client DTE mode.

Update the backupserver specific configmap and add DTE_CLIENT_MODE key to it. This key can take following values:

  • AUTOMATIC

  • ON

  • OFF

For more information on the DTE_CLIENT_MODE, refer to the DTE_CLIENT_MODE for clients section in the NetBackup Administrator's Guide, Volume I .

Following is the configmap with DTE_CLIENT_MODE setting added:

apiVersion: v1
data:
  datamover.hostaliases: |
        10.20.12.13=backupserver.sample.domain.com
        10.21.12.13=mediaserver.sample.domain.com
  datamover.properties: |
        image=reg.domain.com/datamover/image:latest
        DTE_CLIENT_MODE=ON
  version: "1"
kind: ConfigMap
metadata:
  name: backupserver.sample.domain.com
