Veritas NetBackup™ Virtual Appliance Documentation

New appliances are shipped with the following default logon credentials:

• User name: admin

• Password: P@ssw0rd

When mounting or mapping shares from an appliance, make note of the following:

• Linux: Only users with a root access account can issue the mount command directly to mount NFS shares.

• Appliance Management Console

• NetBackup Virtual Appliance Shell Menu

• NetBackup Administration console

After the default password has been changed, by default, the nbasecadmin user is allowed the following access and privileges:

• NetBackup Web UI

  Access to the NetBackup Web UI lets this user set user roles for other NetBackup users, manage all NetBackup security settings, and perform backup and restore operations.

  The nbasecadmin user can also assign NetBackup roles to local users on the appliance, or to users registered on an LDAP server or Active Directory (AD) server.

  Note:

  Starting with software version 3.2, you can assign backup and restore privileges to the nbasecadmin user. If you are upgrading from an earlier version, you must manually add the backup and restore privileges to the nbasecadmin user account. For details, see the NetBackup Web UI Security Administrator's Guide.

• NetBackup Virtual Appliance Shell Menu

  Log in to the NetBackup Virtual Appliance Shell Menu to change the password for the account. Access is limited to the Main > Settings > Password view.

  This view is visible to the nbasecadmin user and all appliance local users that have No Role assigned on the appliance. When the nbasecadmin user is logged in to the shell menu, only the following menu items are available:
