Adding a NetBackup host manually
It is not recommended to manually add a host in the host database except for specific scenarios. For example, you may need to manually add a host when you recover a Bare Metal Restore (BMR) client to other NetBackup domain using Auto Image Replication (AIR).
For more information about Bare Metal Restore, refer to the NetBackup Bare Metal Restore Administrator's Guide.
Note:
Before adding a host, you must ensure that the host entry that you want to add does not already exist in the host database.
You can add a host using the command-line interface only.
