DESCRIPTION

The nbkmscmd command is used to configure KMS. You can also create KMS credentials and keys. All of these commands require NetBackup administrator privileges to run. Additionally, these operations require a bpnbat web log-on (bpnbat -login -loginType WEB) using an account that has NetBackup administrator privileges.

The nbkmscmd supports the following operations:

-configureCredential

Adds the KMS configuration credential in the NetBackup database. The credential ID and its credential name are added in the database. These credentials are used to connect to external KMS.

-configureKMS

Adds an entry for the KMS configuration in the NetBackup database.

-createKey

Creates an active NetBackup key in the KMS server that is associated with the provided configuration name. To create key, KMS server should allow NetBackup to create key and to set NetBackup attributes on that key.

For NetBackup KMS (NBKMS), If the specified key-group name does not exist then the key-group is created with specified algorithm.

-deleteCredential

Deletes the specified KMS configuration credential from the NetBackup database.

-deleteKMSConfig

Deletes the KMS configuration entry from the NetBackup database.

-discoverNBKMS

Discovers whether the NetBackup KMS (NBKMS) is configured and running and adds it to NetBackup database.

-listCredential

Lists the details of the specified KMS configuration credential in JSON format. If the credential name or ID is not specified, credential details for all KMS configurations are listed.

-listKeys

Lists the NetBackup keys from the specified KMS configuration in JSON format.

-listKMSConfig

Lists the details of the specified KMS configuration in JSON format. If the configuration name is not provided, this operation lists the configuration details of all KMS.

-precheckKMSConfig

Performs a dry run of KMS configuration operations to validate the required connections and setup.

-updateCredential

Updates the specified KMS configuration credential.

-updateKMSConfig

Updates the specified KMS configuration in the NetBackup database.

-validateKMSConfig

Validates the functionality with the specified KMS configuration and ensures that backup and restore functionality works.

OPTIONS

-algorithm algorithm

Specifies the encryption algorithm for the key created.

-certPath certificate_file_path

Specifies the path of the certificate that is used to connect to the remote server.

-comment comment

Specifies a comment about the key.

-credId credential_ID

Specifies the credential ID of the KMS configuration.

-credName credential_name

Specifies the credential name of the KMS configuration.

-crlCheckLevel LEAF | CHAIN | DISABLE

Specifies the revocation check level for certificates of the external KMS server. The default value is LEAF.

Accepted values for CRL check level are:

DISABLE: Revocation check is disabled. The revocation status of the certificate is not validated against the CRL during host communication.

LEAF: The revocation status of the leaf certificate is validated against the CRL.

CHAIN: The revocation status of all the certificates from the certificate chain are validated against the CRL.

-description description

Used to provide further information about the current operation.

-enabledForBackup 0 | 1

Specifies whether keys from this KMS should be used for backup or not. The default value is 1.

Provide 0 if the keys from this KMS should not be used for backup.

-force

Suppresses the confirmation prompts and performs the specified operation.

-hmkId host_master_key_ID_to_identify_HMK_passphrase

Specifies the host master key (HMK) ID to identify HMK passphrase. This option is only applicable if the KMS type is NBKMS.

-jsonCompact

Generates output data in a compacted JSON format.

-jsonRaw

Displays the JSON response of the web server.

-keyGroupName key_group_name

Specifies the name of the key group that is used to retrieve or set keys.

-keyName key_name

Specifies the name of the key.

-keyPassphraseFilePath file_path_of_the_key_passphrase

Specifies the file path that has the passphrase that is used to create the key. Not all KMS types support key passphrase.

-kmsServerName network_name_of_external_KMS_server

Specifies the network name for the KMS server. If there are multiple network names for the KMS server, separate the names with a comma (,). This option is only applicable if the KMS type is KMIP.

-kpkId key_protection_key_ID_to_identify_KPK_passphrase

Specifies the key protection key (KPK) ID to identify KPK passphrase. This option is only applicable if KMS type is NBKMS.

-name configuration_name

Specifies a unique name for the KMS configuration.

-pageLimit number_of_records_to_be_listed after_offset

Specifies the number of records to be listed after the offset. Valid values for -pageLimit are 1 to 100. The default value is 100.

-pageOffset record_number

Specifies the record number from where the records start listing. The default value is 0.

-passphrasePath private_key_passphrase_file_path

Specifies the file path of the passphrase that is used to encrypt the certificate private key.

-port port_to_connect_to_external_KMS_server

Specifies the port number to be used to connect to external KMS server. This option is only applicable if KMS type is KMIP.

-priority priority_of_KMS_server

Specifies the KMS server to be used when NetBackup checks for keys during encryption or decryption. By default, the KMS server priority is set to 0. A KMS server with the highest value gets the first priority to be used during encryption or decryption.

-privateKeyPath private_key_file_path

Specifies the file path for the certificate private key.

-reason reason

Specifies the reason to perform the current operation.

-server master_server_name

Specifies an alternate master server. By default, this command uses the first server entry in the NetBackup configuration file.

-trustStorePath CA_certificate_file_path

Specifies the file path for the CA certificate that is used to verify the remote server.

-type NBKMS | KMIP

Specifies the KMS type. NBKMS and KMIP are the valid KMS types.

-useRandomPassphrase 0|1

Specifies whether random passphrases should be used or not. The default value is 0. Provide 1 if random passphrases should be used for KMS configuration.
