About the NetBackup Deduplication Engine credentials
The NetBackup Deduplication Engine requires credentials. The deduplication components use the credentials when they communicate with the NetBackup Deduplication Engine. The credentials are for the deduplication engine, not for the host on which it runs.
You enter the NetBackup Deduplication Engine credentials when you configure the storage server.
The following are the rules for the credentials:
The user name and the password can be up to 62 characters in length. The user name and the password cannot be empty.
You can use characters in the printable ASCII range (0x20-0x7E) except for the following characters:
Asterisk (*)
Backward slash (\) and forward slash (/)
Double quote (")
Left parenthesis [(] and right parenthesis [)]
Less than (<) and greater than (>) sign.
Caret sign (^).
Percent sign (%).
United States dollar sign ($).
Spaces.
Leading and trailing quotes.
Note:
Record and save the credentials in case you need them in the future.
Caution:
You cannot change the NetBackup Deduplication Engine credentials after you enter them. Therefore, carefully choose and enter your credentials. If you must change the credentials, contact your Veritas support representative.
