Description
Before any client host can perform a backup to a remote server, the server must
enable permission to the client host and to the specific users on the client who will
be performing the backup operations. The cfgremaccess command provides access
to the specified hosts and users. To provide the remote host a list of valid devices
and backup files on this server when executing backups from SMIT, you must also
run the cfgremserver command on the client to identify this server.
Before using this command, you must have already configured this host for
Remote Services using the cfgremsvs command. You must also run the cfgremsvs
command on the client host before attempting to execute any backups to this
server.
You can provide all hosts on the network access to the server by creating a single
record that applies to all of the hosts by providing a permission record for a host
called all. You can exclude or deny specific hosts by using the -d flag. You can also
create an access record for specific hosts, to override the all record for that host
only.
Likewise, if you want to deny access to most, but not all, users on a particular
host, you can indicate a user name of all. You can then supply a list of specific
users to deny with the -D flag. You can also create a permission record for a
specific host and user, to override any records for all hosts or all users.
Refer to “Adding or Changing the List of Remote Backup Servers” on page 8-8 for
a complete explanation of the permissions and example of their use.
Note: You can enter either the hostname or a full domain name, if any. If you are
operating in a domain network, use the full domain name of the client host.
Using only the host name in a domain network allows access to any host on
the network with the given host name, even though they might be in
different domains.
Flags
-b “directory”
Specifies one or more directories to which the client hostname and username
can perform regular image file backups. The client can perform a backup to
