Description

Sometimes the client’s "current configuration" gets corrupted. We can delete the client from the BMR console however that client will not reappear until the next successful backup.

Note: This article describes how to make a particular client register to BMR database manually.

To start, find the bundle.dat file located on the client.

The default location is:

  • Windows: C:\Program files\Veritas\Netbackup\baremetal\client\data
  • Unix/Linux: /usr/openv/netbackup/baremetal/client/data

If this file is missing, then you can create it by running the following command:

  • Windows: C:\Program files\Veritas\NetBackup\bin\bmrsavecfg -infoonly
  • Unix/Linux: /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/bmrsavecfg -infoonly

Then copy the bundle.dat file to to an empty folder on the NetBackup Master server and run:

  • Windows: C:\Program files\Veritas\Netbackup\bin\bmrs -o import -res config -path c:\<Folder_name>\bundle.dat
  • Unix/Linux: /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/bmrs -o import -res config -path /<Folder_name>/bundle.dat

This will recreate the "current" BMR client configuration in the BMR database and you should now see it in the NetBackup Java Administration Console.
