Security Requirements

User Permissions

User vprotect must be a member of group "disk".

Sudo privileges are required for the following commands:

Storware Backup & Recovery Node:

  • /usr/bin/targetcli

  • /usr/sbin/exportfs

  • /usr/sbin/kpartx

  • /usr/sbin/dmsetup

  • /usr/bin/qemu-nbd

  • /usr/bin/guestmount

  • /usr/bin/fusermount

  • /bin/mount

  • /bin/umount

  • /usr/sbin/parted

  • /usr/sbin/nbd-client

  • /usr/bin/tee

  • /opt/vprotect/scripts/vs/privileged.sh

  • /usr/bin/yum

  • /usr/sbin/mkfs.xfs

  • /usr/sbin/fstrim

  • /usr/sbin/xfs_growfs

  • /usr/bin/docker

  • /usr/bin/rbd

  • /usr/bin/chown

  • /usr/sbin/nvme

  • /bin/cp

  • /sbin/depmod

  • /usr/sbin/modprobe

  • /bin/bash

  • /usr/local/sbin/nbd-client

  • /bin/make

Storware Backup & Recovery server:

  • /opt/vprotect/scripts/application/vp_license.sh

  • /bin/umount

  • /bin/mount

SELinux

PERMISSIVE - currently it interferes with the mountable backups (file-level restore) mechanism. Optionally can be changed to ENFORCING if the file-level restore is not required.
