How to change Client Connect Options for a Veritas NetBackup Client
Solution
It may be necessary to change the
Client Connect Options for a specific client. These Client Connect Options include BPCD connect back, types of ports used, and Daemon connection port, and can be changed through the
Client Attributes tab of the
Master Server Properties in the Veritas NetBackup Administration Console. Client Connect Options can be changed for individual clients by adding them to the
Clients list of the Client Attributes tab and changing the settings.
Alternatively, the bpclient command may be used. It is located in the /netbackup/bin/admincmd directory. Options for this command can be listed by typing bpclient /? in this directory. Further information on bpclient can be found in the Commands Reference Guide.
