Setup Instructions for the HP OpenStorage (OST) Plug-in for Symantec NetBackup using HP StoreOnce Backup Systems

4 Configuring the HP OpenStorage (OST) plug-in
The HP OpenStorage (OST) plug-in comes with two configuration files.
• hpost.conf—Controls plug-in behavior
• hpostlog.conf—Controls plug-in logging
These files can be found at the following locations:
• In Windows: %SystemRoot%\Program Files\Hewlett-Packard\OpenStorage\
3.0\config
• In Linux: /usr/openv/hp/ost/3.0/config
• In HP-UX: /usr/openv/hp/ost/3.0/config
• In AIX: /usr/openv/hp/ost/3.0/config
Refer to Table 3 (page 9) and Table 4 (page 10) for descriptions on configuration parameters.
Add comments in these .conf files by using # at the beginning of each new line. The plug-in is
installed with default configurations settings.
CAUTION: Change the configuration only if you are familiar with the use and outcome of these
parameters. Improper configuration settings can cause the system to malfunction.
Table 3 (page 9) lists and describes parameters that can be used with the hpostlog.conf
configuration file.
NOTE: Any changes to hpostlog.conf become effective without restarting NetBackup (NBU)
services.
