Establishing trust with a NetBackup 7.7.3 master server instance

To establish a trust relationship between a later version master server instance and a NetBackup 7.7.3 master server instance, you must perform the following steps.

To establish trust with a NetBackup 7.7.3 master server instance

  1. Log in to the instance as the appadmin user and use the following command to enable the root account and set the password:

    sudo passwd

    Warning:

    The root account is a restricted user account that can put the system at risk. It should only be enabled during configuration procedures or under the direct supervision of Veritas Technical Support.

  2. Establish trust between the source and the target domains. Use the root account to add the 7.7.3 instance as a trusted master server. Refer to the NetBackup documentation for specific instructions.
  3. Run the following command on the instance to disable the root account:

    sudo passwd -l root
