Configuring a Call Home proxy server from the NetBackup Virtual Appliance Shell Menu
You can configure a proxy server for Call Home, if required. If the appliance environment has a proxy server between the environment and external Internet access, you must enable the proxy settings on the appliance. The proxy settings include both a proxy server and a port. The proxy server must accept https connections from the Veritas AutoSupport server. This option is disabled by default.
To add a Call Home proxy server from the NetBackup Virtual Appliance Shell Menu
- Log on to the NetBackup Virtual Appliance Shell Menu.
- To enable proxy settings, run the Main > Settings > Alerts > CallHome Proxy Enable command.
- To add a proxy server, run the Main > Settings > Alerts > CallHome Proxy Add command.
You are prompted to enter the name of the proxy server. The proxy server name is the TCP/IP address or the fully qualified domain name of the proxy server.
After you have entered a name for the proxy server, you are prompted to enter the port number for the proxy server.
Further, you are required to answer the following:
Do you want to set credentials for proxy server? (yes/no)
On answering yes, you are prompted to enter a user name for the proxy server.
After you have entered the user name, you are prompted to enter a password for the user. On entering the required information, the following message is displayed:
Successfully set proxy server
- To disable proxy settings, run the Main > Settings > Alerts > CallHome Proxy Disable command.
Further, you can also use the NetBackup Virtual Appliance Shell Menu to enable or disable proxy server tunneling for your appliance. To do so, run the Main > Settings > CallHome Proxy EnableTunnel and Main > Settings > Alerts > CallHome Proxy DisableTunnel commands. Proxy server tunneling lets you provide a secure path through an untrusted network.
