Setting NetBackup configuration options by using the command line
Veritas recommends that you use the NetBackup Administration Console Host Properties to configure NetBackup properties.
However, some properties cannot be set by using the Administration Console. You can set those properties by using the following NetBackup commands:
For a NetBackup server: | bpsetconfig |
For a NetBackup client: | nbsetconfig |
Configuration options are key and value pairs, as shown in the following examples:
CLIENT_READ_TIMEOUT = 300
LOCAL_CACHE = NO
RESUME_ORIG_DUP_ON_OPT_DUP_FAIL = TRUE
SERVER = server1.example.com
You can specify some options multiple times, such as the SERVER option.
To set configuration options by using the command line
- In a command window or shell window on the host on which you want to set the property, invoke the appropriate command. The command depends on the operating system and the NetBackup host type (client or server), as follows:
UNIX
On a NetBackup client:
/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/nbsetconfig
On a NetBackup server:
/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd/bpsetconfig
Windows
On a NetBackup client:
install_path\NetBackup\bin\nbsetconfig.exe
On a NetBackup server:
install_path\NetBackup\bin\admincmd\bpsetconfig.exe
- At the command prompt, enter the key and the value pairs of the configuration options that you want to set, one pair per line.
You can change existing key and value pairs.
You can add key and value pairs.
Ensure that you understand the values that are allowed and the format of any new options that you add.
- To save the configuration changes, type the following, depending on the operating system:
Windows: Ctrl + Z Enter
UNIX: Ctrl + D Enter
