Client name properties
To access this setting, in the web UI select . Select the client. If necessary click , then click . Click .
The property specifies the NetBackup client name for the selected client. The name must match the name the policy uses to back up the client. The only exception is for a redirected restore, where the name must match that of the client whose files are to be restored. The client name is initially set during installation.
The name that is entered here must also match the client name in the Client attributes for the primary server. If it does not match, the client cannot browse for its own backups.
Note:
Using an IPv6 address as a client name in a policy can cause backups to fail. Specify a host name instead of an IPv6 address.
See Client attributes properties.
If the value is not specified, NetBackup uses the name that is set in the following locations:
For a Windows client
In the Network application from the Control Panel.
For a UNIX client
The name that is set by using the hostname command.
The name can also be added to a $HOME/bp.conf file on a UNIX client. However, the name is normally added in this manner only for redirected restores. The value in the $HOME/bp.conf file takes precedence if it exists.
