NetBackup IT Analytics Data Collector Installation Guide for Backup Manager

Create a new NetBackup administrator CLI user account, for example "aptare". Refer to Creating NetBackup administrator user accounts in the Veritas NetBackup™ Appliance Administrator's Guide.

Create a location for temporary files (e.g. /log/aptare/tmp).

maintenance-!> sudo bash
root-!> mkdir -p /log/aptare/tmp

Assign read and write permissions to the folder for the CLI user account and nbusers group.

Refer to Overriding the NetBackup appliance intrusion prevention system policy in the Veritas NetBackup™ Appliance Security Guide.

maintenance-!> sudo bash
root-!> chown -R aptare:nbusers /log/aptare

Create a .profile file in the /home/nbusers directory.

It is recommended to use a .profile that only sets TMPDIR for the CLI user created for collection.

For example:

if [ "${USER}" = "aptare" ] ; then

    TMPDIR=/log/aptare/tmp

    export TMPDIR

fi

OR

Use the advanced parameter NBU_SSH_TMPDIR. For available methods of configuring the TMPDIR environment variable.
