SYNOPSIS

SystemLocale List

SystemLocale Set

SystemLocale Show

DESCRIPTION

Use these commands to view or change the system locale of your appliance for international support.

OPTIONS

The following options are available under the SystemLocale command:

SystemLocale List Language: List all available locales for a given language. Here, Language is the ISO 639-1 language code in 2 letters, for example, fr, ja , zh, fr, de, es, ru, and so on. This command displays all the system locales that are available and sorts them by the language code that you have specified.

SystemLocale Set Locale

Change the existing system locale of the appliance to another locale. Here, Locale is the value for a locale string.

If you want to back up a UNIX or a Linux system, you must set the appliance locale to the locale that your UNIX or Linux client is running on. For example, if your Solaris client is running on a French locale and it supports the Euro currency (fr_FR.ISO8859 -15), you must set fr_FR@euro as the system locale for your appliance.

Note:

The locale names vary among various operating systems. The NetBackup Virtual Appliance uses the locale naming convention same as Red Hat Linux.

If you want to back up a Windows system, you must set an appropriate UTF-8 locale because the NetBackup client sends the path information to the NetBackup database by converting it from the active code page to UTF-8. For example, you have installed a NetBackup client into a German Windows server and you want to back up a file named with a "ß" (Eszett) letter on it. In this case, you must set de_DE.UTF-8 as the system locale for your appliance.

Note:

Do not set the appliance system locale as per the locale that is used by the active code page on which your Windows client is running.

SystemLocale Show: View the current system locale on the appliance.
