Dell NetWorker 19.9 Administration Guide

Controlling access to a NetWorker client

NetWorker uses the contents of the /nsr/res/servers (UNIX), or the NetWorker_install_path\res\servers (Windows) file on each NetWorker client to control who has client-tasking rights. Client-tasking rights provide a host with the right to request a program execution on another client. The following table provides a list of tasks that require an update to the servers file.

Table 1. When to modify the servers file
Operations Update required on the NetWorker client’s servers file
Archive request Add the FQDN or shortname of the NetWorker server.
Scheduled backup Add the FQDN or shortname of the NetWorker server.

For a clustered NetWorker server, add the FQDN and shortname of the virtual NetWorker and all physical
nodes.
Remote Directed Restore Add the FQDN or shortname of the administering client to the server file on the destination client.
NDMP DSA backups Add the FQDN or shortname of the NetWorker client that starts the backup.
NOTE:For NDMP, the servers file resides in the NetWorker Server.
NOTE:Before adding the FQDN or shortname to the NetWorker server file, ensure that the host name resolution for FQDN or short name is working correctly.

The NetWorker Security Configuration Guide provides more information about client-tasking rights and how to modify the servers file.
