VIRTUALIZATION_HOSTS_SECURE_CONNECT_ENABLED for servers and clients
The VIRTUALIZATION_HOSTS_SECURE_CONNECT_ENABLED option enables the validation of virtualization server certificates using its root or intermediate certificate authority (CA) certificates.
Before you enable the option, review the steps from the 'Validating VMware virtualization server certificates in NetBackup ' section in the NetBackup for VMware Administrator's Guide.
By default, the VIRTUALIZATION_HOSTS_SECURE_CONNECT_ENABLED option is set to UNDEFINED.
The security certificate validation is enabled for RHV servers, but is disabled for VMware servers.
Note:
In a scenario where an external CA can be configured for one virtualization server, but not for the other, two separate backup hosts must be used. The VIRTUALIZATION_HOSTS_SECURE_CONNECT_ENABLED option must be set to YES for the backup host where the external CA can be configured. The option must be set to NO for the other backup host.
Table: VIRTUALIZATION_HOSTS_SECURE_CONNECT_ENABLED information
Usage | Description |
|---|---|
Where to use | On NetBackup master server or all access hosts. |
How to use | Use the nbgetconfig and the nbsetconfig commands to view, add, or change the option. For information about these commands, see the NetBackup Commands Reference Guide. Use the following format to enable certificate validation for the RHV and VMware servers: VIRTUALIZATION_HOSTS_SECURE_CONNECT_ENABLED = YES |
Equivalent Administration Console property | No equivalent exists in the NetBackup Administration Console host properties. |
