NetBackup™ Deduplication Guide

Considerations for file access

When running MSDP commands as the service user, if the command requires a file path, ensure that the file is accessible to the service user.

For example, msdpcldutil list --credfile /tmp/env.txt

In this case, a file /tmp/env.txt should be readable by the MSDP service user, which can be found in the /etc/pdregistry.cfg file under the MSDP_SERVICE_USER configuration.
