NetBackup and Veritas Appliances Hardening Guide

To configure the reverse connections

1. On the left, click Storage > Disk storage.
2. Click the Storage servers tab.
3. Click on the MSDP storage server that you want to configure.
4. Under Isolated Recovery Environment, click Modify SLP on the remote primary server.
5. On the Modify SLP on the remote primary server page, provide the production primary server name.
6. Select the existing login credentials or add new credentials and click Next.

   • Select existing credentials: Select the existing credentials.

   • Add a new credential: Add a new credential for the production primary server. Under Credential type, select Username Password authentication or Use API key.

     Note:

     The user of the production primary server needs privileges in the default IRE SLP Administrator role.

7. Click Connect.
8. Select the SLP that you want to add a replication operation to the IRE MSDP storage server and click Next.
9. Select an operation that you want to replicate to IRE MSDP storage server after the operation and click Next.
10. Select an SLP of the IRE domain for image import after replication completed.
11. On the Window tab, configure SLP window for the replication operation. Create a new SLP window or select an existing SLP window.

    When you adjust the SLP window, ensure that the SLP window is covered by IRE schedule. If a replication is triggered outside the IRE schedule, reverse connection does not happen, and the replication job fails.

    The Synchronize with the reverse connection schedule helps to replace the current SLP window with the IRE Schedule. You can adjust the SLP window based on the IRE Schedule.

    The date and time that is shown on the page are based on the time zone of IRE primary server. If the production primary server and the IRE primary server are in different time zones, the time difference is calculated and the SLP window for the production primary server is converted automatically.

    Click Finish.

12. Click Save.

    All the configurations including MSDP storage server replication target, SLP window, and replication operation in the SLP are applied to the production primary server.
