AUTO_ADD_ALL_ALIASES_FOR_CLIENT option for NetBackup servers

This option allows client aliases to be automatically added to the NetBackup database when bpdbm detects a new client in a backup policy.

Table: AUTO_ADD_ALL_ALIASES_FOR_CLIENT information

Usage

Description

Where to use

On NetBackup master servers.

How to use

By default, AUTO_ADD_ALL_ALIASES_FOR_CLIENT is not present in the configuration file. When AUTO_ADD_ALL_ALIASES_FOR_CLIENT is not present, the option is enabled. That is, bpdbm is allowed to add client aliases automatically.

Use the nbgetconfig and the nbsetconfig commands to view, add, or change the option.

For information about these commands, see the NetBackup Commands Reference Guide.

Use the following format:

AUTO_ADD_ALL_ALIASES_FOR_CLIENT = YES | NO

This entry should appear only once in the configuration file.

Example

The following entry prohibits bpdbm from adding a client alias automatically:

AUTO_ADD_ALL_ALIASES_FOR_CLIENT = NO

Equivalent Administration Console property

No equivalent exists in the NetBackup Administration Console host properties.
