Configuring KMS

To configure NetBackup KMS (NBKMS)

  • Run the following command:

    nbkmscmd -configureKMS -name configuration_name -type NBKMS -hmkId host_master_key_ID_to_identify_HMK_passphrase -kpkId key_protection_key_ID_to_identify_KPK_passphrase [-useRandomPassphrase 0 | 1] [-enabledForBackup 0 | 1] [-priority priority_of_KMS_server] [-server master_server_name] [-description description]

To configure external KMS

  • Run the following command:

    nbkmscmd -configureKMS -name configuration_name -type KMIP -port port_to_connect_to_external_KMS_server -kmsServerName network_name_of_external_KMS_server -credId credential_ID | -credName credential_name [-enabledForBackup 0 | 1] [-priority priority_of_KMS_server] [-server master_server_name] [-description description]
