HP Application Recovery Manager software A.06.10 Installation and licensing guide (March 2008)

Allowing users to perform interactive backups may not always be desired. To allow
interactive backups only for users who also have the right to save a backup
specification, set the StrictSecurityFlags flag 0x0200 in the global options file.
For more information on the global options file, refer to the online Help.
Hiding the contents of backup specifications
In a high security environment, the contents of saved backup specifications may be
considered to be sensitive or even confidential information. Application Recovery
Manager can be configured to hide the contents of backup specifications for all
users, except for those who have the Save backup specification user right. To do so,
set the StrictSecurityFlags flag 0x0400 in the global options file.
For more information about the global options file, refer to the online Help.
Host trusts
You can define groups of hosts that will trust each other with the data.
Host trusts are typically used in the following situations:
• For clients in a cluster (nodes and virtual server).
• If the hostname of a client is changed and the data from the old backup objects
needs to be restored.
• If there is a mismatch between the client hostname and backup objects due to
DNS issues.
• If a user owns several clients and needs to restore the data from one client to
another.
• When migrating data from one host to another.
Configuration
To configure host trusts, create the /etc/opt/omni/server/cell/host_trusts
file on a UNIX Cell Manager or
AppRM_home\Config\Server\cell\host_trusts file on a Cell Manager.
The groups of hosts that trust each other are defined as lists of hostnames enclosed
in curly brackets. For example:
Example
GROUP="cluster.domain.com"
