Adding Clients to the NetBackup Client Database
Note
The following explains how to add clients when you are using fixed IP addresses. If you are using dynamic addressing (DHCP), see "Dynamic Host Name and IP Addressing in the NetBackup System Administrator's Guide, Volume II for instructions on adding clients to the client database.
Before you can set list and restore permissions for a client, you must add the client to the NetBackup client catalog on the master server. The client catalog consists of directories and files in the following directory:
/usr/openv/netbackup/db/client
You can create, update, list, and delete client entries with the bpclient command. The bpclient command is in the directory:
/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd
- To create a client entry, run:
bpclient -add -client client_name -current_host host_name
Where:
- -client client_name specifies the NetBackup client name as it appears in the NetBackup configuration.
- -current_host host_name adds the client to the catalog with the name specified by host_name. This host name must already be configured with an IP address in the name service that you are using (for example, DNS). When you run this command, NetBackup queries the name service for the IP address and updates the NetBackup client catalog.
For example:
cd /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd
bpclient -add -client shark -current_host shark
You can also delete and list client entries:
- To delete a client entry, run: bpclient -delete -client client_name
- To list a client entry, run: bpclient -L -client client_name
- To list all client entries, run: bpclient -L -All
