Running the bpcd -keyfile command
This topic describes running the bpcd command as a stand-alone program.
To run bpcd as a stand-alone program
- Use the -change_key_file_pass_phrase (or -ckfpp) option on the bpkeyfile command to change the key file pass phrase, as in the following example:
bpkeyfile -ckfpp /usr/openv/netbackup/keyfile Enter old keyfile pass phrase: (standard keyfile pass phrase) Enter new keyfile pass phrase: (standard keyfile pass phrase) ****** Re-enter new keyfile pass phrase: (standard keyfile pass phrase) ******
If you type a carriage return at the prompt, NetBackup uses the standard key file pass phrase.
- Stop the existing bpcd by issuing the bpcd -terminate command.
- Initiate the bpcd command with the -keyfile option. Enter the new key file pass phrase when prompted.
bpcd -keyfile Please enter keyfile pass phrase: ******
bpcd now runs in the background, and waits for requests from the NetBackup server.
You can change the key file pass phrase at any time with the bpkeyfile command and the -ckfpp option. The new key file pass phrase does not take effect until the next time you start bpcd.
You can also change the NetBackup pass phrase that is used to generate the DES keys to encrypt backups. Change this phrase at any time with the bpkeyfile command and the -cnpp option. Note, however, that the new NetBackup pass phrase does not take effect until you kill the current bpcd process and restart bpcd.
