Name

bmrconfig — change configuration settings

SYNOPSIS

bmrconfig -operation verify -client clientName -configuration configName

bmrconfig -operation initialize -resource disk | network | device | all -client clientName -configuration configName -sourceconfiguration discovered_configName

bmrconfig -operation initialize -resource disk | network | device | all -client clientName -configuration configName -sourceclient source_clientName -sourceconfiguration source_configName

bmrconfig -operation initialize -resource driver -client clientName -configuration configName

On UNIX systems, the directory path to this command is /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/

On Windows systems, the directory path to this command is install_path\NetBackup\bin\

DESCRIPTION

The bmrconfig command changes the configuration of the system, network, volume, driver, and NetBackup settings. The read-only current configuration and discovered configuration cannot be changed. Use the bmrs command to create a copy of a configuration that you can change.

OPTIONS

-attributes

Attributes of the resource are specified as name-value pairs. The name is always an alphanumeric string. The value is free form but must be double quoted if it contains white space or a shell-interpreted characters. To determine the specific set of attributes that apply to a resource, use bmrconfig -operation list -resource resourceType.

The following are some attributes specific to Solaris ZFS:

-cache device - Cache device if used.

-copies number of copies - applies only to the mirror layout

-devtype - The possible device types are the following:

concat - concatenation layout
mirror - mirror layout
raidz1 - raidz1 layout
raidz2 - raidz2 layout
raidz3 - raidz3 layout

-disk disk name - Disk name to be used. Provide a disk name for every disk used.

-log device - Log device if used.

-slice slice name - Slice name to be used. Provide a slice name for every slice used.

-spare - spare device if used.

-storagepool ZFS storage pool name - Provides a ZFS storage pool name during ZFS and volume operations.

-client clientName: The NetBackup client name.

-configuration configName: The configuration to operate on.

-force: Forces the removal of a resource and all of its dependent resources.

-initialize: Initializes BMR configuration on a specified client.

-manager

The volume manager that controls the resource. Volume managers are as follows:

ldm - Windows Logical Disk Manager

lvm - AIX or HP-UX Logical Volume Manager

native - the volume manager native to the operating system

sfw - Veritas Storage Foundation for Windows

svm - Solaris Volume Manager

vxvm - Veritas Volume Manager

zfs - ZFS Volume Manager

-name resourceName: The name of the resource to act on. The various volume managers determine the valid characters in a resource name.

-operation operation_name

The operation to perform. Operations are as follows:

add - adds a resource to the configuration

change - changes specific attributes of a resource

clearALL - removes all resources except disks from a disk group

delete - removes a resource from the configuration

display - prints high-level information about the resource

help - prints the required resources and the optional attributes and values

initialize - initializes a configuration's hardware from a discovered configuration

list - prints all the instances of the specified resource type

map - maps a resource that includes dependent resources, from the original configuration to the working configuration

verify - checks that a config has sufficient data for a restore to succeed

-platform win | hp | aix | solaris | linux: The platform of the specified resource. Used with -help only.

-resource resourceType

The type of the resource on which the operation is performed. Resource types are as follows:

all - all resources

accesspath - a Windows access path

disk - a physical storage device

diskgroup - a logical grouping of disks

diskset - a Solaris Volume Manager disk set

driveletter - a Windows drive letter

esm - backup client identity

filesystem - a file system for UNIX and Windows

gateway - a network gateway

host - a network server

hotfix - a Windows hotfix

hotsparepool - a set of the slices that are used for SVM failover

ip - network identity

license - a product license key

logicaldrive - a Windows extended partition; first one implicitly adds container

logicalvolume - an AIX or HP-UX logical volume

metadb - an SVM database replica slice

mountpoint - a path that serves as an access point to a volume

msd - a mass storage driver

multidevice - a Linux multidevice

nativedisk - Solaris Native disk resource

nativepart - Solaris Native partition resource

network - a sub network

nic - a network interface card

nicpkg - a network interface card driver

partition - Windows primary partition

physical volume - an AIX or HP-UX physical volume

slice - a Solaris slice; equivalent to volume

softpart - an SVM soft partition

volume - a logical division of a disk or a disk group

volumegroup - an AIX or HP-UX volume group

zfsfilesystem - ZFS file system

zfsstoragepool - ZFS storage pool

zfsvolume - ZFS volume

-sourceconfiguration source_configName: The configuration that is the source in an initialized configuration operation.

-sourceclient source_clientName: The client that serves as the source in an initialized configuration operation. If a source client is not specified, the configuration comes from the list of discovered configurations.

EXAMPLES

Example 1 - List the physical volumes in a configuration for client aixp31:

# bmrconfig -operation list -resource physical volume -configuration 
current -client aixp31

Example 2 - Map Native partitions on Solaris:

# bmrconfig -op map -re nativepart -name /dev/dsk/c1t0d0p1 -client
client1 -config config1 -attributes disk=/dev/dsk/c1t1d0p0
percent=50 partid=191 active=true

Example 3 - List the volume groups in a configuration for client aixp31:

# bmrconfig -operation list -resource volume group -configuration 
current -client aixp31

Example 4 - Display the attributes of a volume group for client aixp31:

# bmrconfig -operation display -resource volume group -configuration 
current -client aixp31 -name rootvg

Example 5 - Initialize the new configuration with the discovered hardware for client aixp31:

# bmrconfig -operation initialize -resource config -configuration 
mynew -client aixp31 -sourceconfiguration discover

Example 6 - Add a volume group to a configuration for client aixp31:

# bmrconfig -operation add -configuration mynew -client aixp31 
-resource volume group -name rootvg -attributes physical 
volume=hdisk1

Example 7 - Add a disk to a volume group for client aixp31 (requires a full list of physical volumes to be specified):

# bmrconfig -operation modify -configuration my new -client aixp31 
-resource volume group -name rootvg -attributes physical 
volume=hdisk1 physical volume=hdisk0

Example 8 - Remove a physical volume from a volume group for client aixp31:

# bmrconfig -operation modify -configuration my new -client aixp31 
-resource volume group -name rootvg -attributes physical 
volume=hdisk0

Example 9 - Map a volume group from the original configuration for client aixp31:

# bmrconfig -operation map -configuration my new -client aixp31 
-resource volume group -name rootvg

Example 10 - On UNIX, map a ZFS storage pool set up in a mirrored layout that provides three copies:

# bmrconfig -operation map -resource zfsstoragepool -client solbox 
-config solconfig -namedatapool -attributes devtype=mirror copies=3 
spare=/dev/dsk/c1t1d0 cache=/dev/dsk/c1t1d1 log=/dev/dsk/c1t1d2 
disk=/dev/dsk/c1t1d3 disk=/dev/dsk/c1t1d4

NOTES

If you use NetBackup Access Management, and the user credentials and computer credentials expire, renew them before you perform prepare-to-restore operations. Use the bpnbat -Login command to renew your user credentials. Use the bpnbat -LoginMachine command to renew the computer credentials.
