NetBackup™ Troubleshooting Guide

Clearing host cache

Clearing the host cache ensures that any changes related to a host's validation (for example, approval of host ID-to-host name mapping or changes to the global security settings) are reflected immediately on the host.

To clear the host cache, run the following command:

  • Windows: Install_Path\NetBackup\bin\bpclntcmd -clear_host_cache

  • UNIX: /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/bpclntcmd -clear_host_cache

Example output:

Successfully cleared host cache

Successfully cleared peer validation cache
