Veritas NetBackup™ Appliance Administrator's Guide

Manually updating the deduplication pool catalog backup policy

1. Log on to the Appliance with a NetBackupCLI user account.

   See Creating NetBackup administrator user accounts.

2. Update the policy type. Enter the following command to update the policy type to Standard:

   # bpplinfo <policy-name> -modify -pt Standard

   Replace <policy-name> with SYMC_NBA_Dedupe_Catalog_<appliance-short-name> where <appliance-short-name> is the short name you have given to your appliance.

3. Identify the client name:

   • Determine if the appliance is added as a client by entering the following command:

     # bpplclients <policy-name> -l

   • If the client has not been added, run the following command to identify the client name:

     # bpgetconfig CLIENT_NAME | cut -f3 -d' '

4. Update the client and the backup selection by entering the following command:

   # drcontrol --update_policy --policy <policy name> --client <client name> --hardware <appliance model> --OS 'NetBackup-Appliance' --log_file ~/<log file name>

   • Replace <client name> with the name of the client that is identified in the previous step.

   • Replace <appliance model> with the model of the Appliance. For example, 5220, 5230 or 5330.

   • Replace <log file name> with the name of the log file thedrcontrol tool creates.

     Note:

     If the drcontrol tool is run without the log file option the tool creates a file that is not accessible to the NetBackupCLI user. Make sure to choose a directory accessible by the NetBackupCLI user, such as the home directory of the NetBackupCLI user.
