NetBackup™ for Hadoop Administrator's Guide

To add a backup host

1. Open the web UI.
2. Create a BigData policy.

   See Create a BigData policy for Hadoop clusters.

3. In the Backup selections tab, click Add and add the backup host in the following format:

   Backup_Host=IP_address or hostname

   Alternatively, you can also add a backup host using the following command:

   For Windows:

   <install_path>\NetBackup\bin\admincmd\bpplinclude PolicyName -add Backup_Host=IP_address or hostname

   For UNIX:

   /usr/openv/var/global/bin/admincmd/bpplinclude PolicyName -add Backup_Host=IP_address or hostname

4. As a best practice, add the entries of all the NameNodes and DataNodes to the /etc/hosts file on all the backup hosts. You must add the host name in FQDN format.

   OR

   Add the appropriate DNS entries in the /etc/resolv.conf file.

To remove a backup host

1. In the Backup Selections tab, select the backup host that you want to remove.
2. Right click the selected backup host and click Delete.

   Alternatively, you can also remove a backup host using the following command:

   For Windows:

   Install_Path\NetBackup\bin\admincmd\bpplinclude PolicyName -delete Backup_Host=IP_address or hostname

   For UNIX:

   /usr/openv/var/global/bin/admincmd/bpplinclude PolicyName -delete 'Backup_Host=IP_address or hostname'
