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 certificate update utility (nbcertupdater) provides an automated mechanism to contact a set of NetBackup hosts that can run a setuptrust operation with a specified authentication broker. The utility can also query the NBU_Machines private domain of the local authentication broker to generate the following: the set of NetBackup hosts that you can contact for the setuptrust operation.
The utility can only be run as a local administrator on the master server. It runs in three modes:
Process a single host. You specify a single host name on the command line. The utility contacts the host and runs setuptrust with the specified authentication broker.
Process multiple hosts. You specify the host names in an input file. If an input file is unspecified, nbcertupdater automatically generates the list of hosts to contact from the NBU_Machines private domain of the local authentication broker. It spawns a child to process each host. The -numparallel option controls the number of hosts that are processed in parallel.
Create the host list from the authentication broker. The utility creates the list from the NBU_Machines private domain of the local authentication broker and writes it to the output file. The hosts are not processed.
OPTIONS
- -b | -broker broker_name
The broker with which trust should be set up. If a broker is not specified, trust is set up with the NetBackup master server.
- -d
Enables debug mode. The utility prints debug messages on the console.
- -h | -host host_name
Specifies the NetBackup host where the setuptrust operation is performed.
- -help
Prints command usage information.
- -i | -ifile input_file
Specifies the name of the input file that contains the names of NetBackup hosts to be processed. Each line in the input file maps to a host name (except for comment lines).
- -l | -listonly
Generates the list of NetBackup hosts from the local authentication broker, but does not process them.
- -na | -numattempts attempts_per_host
Specifies the number of attempts to process the host before the utility declares failure. The default is 1.
- -nolog
Shuts off all logging for the utility operation.
- -np | -numparallel num_parallel_hosts
Specifies the number of hosts to be processed in parallel. The default is 3.
- -o | -ofile output_file
Specifies the name of the output file.
- -p | -port broker_port
Specifies the port number of the selected broker. If this option is not specified, the default broker port is used to contact the broker.
- -v
Enables verbose mode. The utility prints extra informational messages on the console.
OUTPUT MESSAGES
HOST_NOT_FOUND
The host name cannot be found.
BPCD_CONN_FAIL
Failed to connect to bpcd on host. The host may not have NetBackup client software installed on it.
# bpnbat -ShowBrokerCerts
USER_INTERRUPT
User requested termination of operation. This error is returned if the user presses Ctrl-C to terminate the program.
SUCCESS
The host processed successfully.
EXAMPLES
Example 1 - Update a NetBackup host where the authentication client libraries are installed on it.
# nbcertupdater -h huffman.abc.com Logging to directory /openv/netbackup/logs/certupdater> Processing host huffman.abc.com Host processed successfully
Example 2 - Generate a list of computer names from the NBU_Machines private domain of the local authentication broker. This list is the same as the list that is displayed when you run the bpnbat -ShowMachines command.
# nbcertupdater -listonly -o outfile.txt Logging to directory </usr/openv/netbackup/logs/certupdater> Generating host list from the local AB Writing result to file <outfile.txt>
Example 3 - Use an input file to specify the hosts to be updated. The first host is updated successfully. bpcd is not running on the second host.
# cat infile.txt huffman.vxindia.com atom.vxindia.com # nbcertupdater -i infile.txt -o outfile.txt Logging to directory </usr/openv/netbackup/logs/certupdater> Reading host names from file infile.txt Attempt 1: Processing 2 hosts Processing host huffman.abc.com (1/2) Processing host atom.abc.com (2/2) Completed host huffman.abc.com (SUCCESS) Completed host atom.abc.com (BPCD_CONN_FAIL) Total hosts attempted: 2 (1 succeeded) Writing result to file <outfile.txt> # cat outfile.txt #huffman.abc.com #SUCCESS@(02/17/10 16:58:19) atom.abc.com #BPCD_CONN_FAIL@(02/17/10 16:58:19)
