Configuring the NetBackup Master Server
On the NetBackup master server, create your NetBackup classes (backup
policies) as you would otherwise. For client name lists, use the NetBackup
client names (for example, nbclient01) rather than the dynamic network host
names (for example, dynamic01).
Next, create the client database on the master server. The client database
consists of directories and files in the following directory:
install_path
\NetBackup\db\client
You can create, update, list, and delete client entries with the
bpclient
command. The
bpclient
command is in the directory:
install_path
\NetBackup\bin\admincmd
• To create a dynamic client entry use:
bpclient.exe -add -client
client_name
-dynamic_address 1
where client_name is the NetBackup client name. The
-dynamic_address
1
argument means that the client uses dynamic IP addressing. You can
create entries with
-dynamic_address 0
for static IP addressing, but that
is unnecessary and will adversely affect performance.
• To delete a client entry use:
bpclient.exe -delete -client
client_name
• To list a client entry use:
bpclient.exe -L -client
client_name
• To list all client entries use:
bpclient.exe -L -All
In our example, you can enter these commands to create the 20 clients:
cd
install_path
\NetBackup\bin\admincmd
