nbhostmgmt -help

 

On UNIX systems, the directory path to this command is /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd/

On Windows systems, the directory path to this command is install_path\NetBackup\bin\admincmd\

DESCRIPTION

The nbhostmgmt command is used to manage the host ID to host names or IP addresses mappings. You can identify a host with alternate names. Use this command to map these alternate names to the respective host IDs. Use the command to add, delete, and list the mappings. Only the root user can run this command.

Before you run the nbhostmgmt command, you must run the bpnbat - login - loginType WEB command. The bpnbat command authenticates your web services logon.

OPTIONS

-add | -a

Use this option to add and approve the host ID to host name or IP address mapping for the specified host.

Note:

Use -add without the -isshared option to add the first share. Add all additional shares with the -isshared option.

-addcomment | -ac

Use this option to add a comment for the primary host. You can view the comment using the nbhostmgmt -list option. The added comment is only associated with the primary host and not with the alternate mapped host name. You cannot edit comments. You can only overwrite or delete the existing comment.

-ah | -addhost

Use this option to add a host in the host database.

The option lets you add the host entry so that the NetBackup administrator can set the autoreissue parameter. The autoreissue parameter lets you deploy certificate on the host without requiring a reissue token. During a Bare Metal Restore in an Auto Image Replication (AIR) setup, a host entry must be added in the host database of the target domain.

Veritas does not recommend manually adding a host except for specific scenarios like a Bare Metal Restore AIR setup.

-aa | -allowautoreissuecert

Use this option to set the autoreissue parameter for the specified host or host ID. The autoreissue parameter lets you deploy certificate on the host without requiring a reissue token. The autoreissue parameter is only associated with the primary host name and not with the alternate mapped name.

-approved |-ap

Use this option to list the mapped host names or IP addresses that are approved.

-comment | -c

Use this option to specify the content of the comment you want added to the primary host. You must specify either the host or the host ID to add a comment. If the comment contains a space, you must enclose the comment in double quotation marks ("..."). The comment field is limited to 2048 characters.

-conflict | -cf

Use this option to list the mapped host names or IP addresses whose entries conflict with other mappings.

-delete | -d

Use this option to remove host ID to host name or IP address mapping.

-deletecomment | -dc

Use this option to remove a comment for the specified host or host ID. This option removes the comment that is associated with the primary host.

If you attempt to delete a non-existent comment for a host with the nbhostmgmt-deletecomment option, the nbauditreport displays a corresponding entry for a successful update.

-help | -h

Displays the command-line usage message.

-host | -n

Specifies the primary host name or alternate mapped host name or IP address. For the add and the delete operation, ensure that the alternate mapped host name or IP address is associated with a single host ID.

-hostid | -i

Specifies the NetBackup host ID.

-isshared | -is

Indicates that you want to add the mapping name as shared.

Note:

Use -add without the -isshared option to add the first share. Add all additional shares with the -isshared option.

-json | -j

This option generates the data in json format and spans multiple lines.

-json_compact | -jc

This option generates the data in json format on a single line

-list | -li

Use this option to list mapped host names or IP addresses based on different filters. You can list based on approved, pending for approval, and conflicting names or addresses.

-mappingname | -hm

Specifies the host name or the IP address you want to add or delete.

-newhostname | -nh

Specifies the new primary host name for the host to be updated.

-pending | -p

Use this option to list the mapped host names or IP addresses pending approval.

-reason | -r

Use this option to specify the reason for the command action. The string that you enter is captured and appears in the audit report. Enclose this string with double quotes ("..."). The reason field is limited to 512 characters. It cannot begin with a dash character (-) and it cannot contain the single quotation mark (') character.

-server | -s

Indicates the name of NetBackup Master server with which communication needs to be established. The default value for the -server option is the first server name listed in the bp.conf file.

-short | -l

Use this option to list the host ID and mapped host names only.

-updatehost | -uh

Use this option to update the primary host name of a host.

EXAMPLES

Example 1: Add a host ID to host name mapping.

#nbhostmgmt  - add -hostid 0a0aa0a0-0000-0aa0-aa00-000a0a00a0a0 
 - mappingname testhost1
testhost1 is successfully mapped to 
0a0aa0a0-0000-0aa0-aa00-000a0a00a0a0.

Example 2: Add a host ID to host name mapping with the host name.

#nbhostmgmt -add -host testhost1 -mappingname testhost2
testhost2 is successfully mapped to 
0a0aa0a0-0000-0aa0-aa00-000a0a00a0a0.

Example 3: Approve a pending mapping. This example shows the approval of the mapping of testhost3 for mapped host name host3.

#nbhostmgmt  - add -host host3  - mappingname testhost3
testhost3 is successfully updated.

Example 4: Delete a host ID from the host name mapping with a host ID.

#nbhostmgmt  - delete -hostid 0a0aa0a0-0000-0aa0-aa00-000a0a00a0a0
 - mappingname testhost1
Mapping between testhost1 and 0a0aa0a0-0000-0aa0-aa00-000a0a00a0a0
 is removed.

Example 5: Delete a host ID from the host name mapping with a host.

#nbhostmgmt  - delete -host fs001  - mappingname testhost4
Mapping between testhost4 and 0a0aa0a0-0000-0aa0-aa00-000a0a00a0a0
 is removed.

Example 6: Delete a host ID from the host name mapping with a host from the specified master server.

#nbhostmgt -delete -server nbmaster01 -host fs001  -mappingname
 testhost3
Mapping between testhost3 and 0a0aa0a0-0000-0aa0-aa00-000a0a00a0a0
 is removed.
