COMPUTE_IMAGE_ENTROPY for NetBackup primary servers

Use the COMPUTE_IMAGE_ENTROPY option to enable computation of entropy and file attributes in NetBackup that enhances cyber resiliency in a NetBackup - Helios environment.

The entropy metric is used with the anomaly detection in Helios to help you detect potential malicious activity.

Table: COMPUTE_IMAGE_ENTROPY information

Usage	Description
Where to use	On NetBackup primary servers.
How to use	Use the nbgetconfig and the nbsetconfig commands to view, add, or change the option. For information about these commands, see the NetBackup Commands Reference Guide. Use the following format: COMPUTE_IMAGE_ENTROPY = Value You can specify one of the following values for the COMPUTE_IMAGE_ENTROPY option: ALWAYS - Computation of entropy and file attributes is always enabled. This is the default value. NEVER - Computation of entropy and file attributes is always disabled. IF_MANAGED_BY_ALTA - Computation of entropy and file attributes is enabled if Helios manages the associated NetBackup primary server. If Helios does not manage the primary server, computation is disabled. Note: After the NetBackup primary server is registered with the Helios server, computation of entropy and file attributes starts within the next 24 hours with the new backup jobs.
