Editing Clients Properties

[yadnakis]

Hi All.

With your help i made an script to create a list of clients.

File Client.param.sql
create type:NSR client;
name:server01;
server:legatoserver;
comment:"Backup Windows 2000 Backup SQL";
schedule:BackupW2KDepartFull;
browse policy:Month;
retention policy:TwoMonths;
group:BackupW2KDepartSQL;
save set:"mssql:";
aliases:server01;
storage nodes:nsrserverhost;
Backup command:nsrsqlsv;

Script
VAR1=XXX
for i in `cat srvsql.txt`
do
VAR2=$VAR1
VAR1=$i
sed -e "s/$VAR2/$VAR1/g" client.param.sql > client.param2.sql
cp -p client.param2.sql client.param.sql
nsradmin -i client.param.sql
done


I want to know if there is a way to edit some properties of the clients, or i must recreate them

Thanks in advance

I guess using GUI is not in the picture? Creating and editing would be a lot easier and less of a chance of making a mistake, I like using cmd. etc. but sometime GUI is better - my opion.

That would be the "update" feature in nsradmin, see the man pages for more info. If you use it in a script, i.e run "nsradmin -i file", you will not need to answer "y" to update the resource.

Example:

. type:nsr group;nameefault
update autostart: Disabled

Thanks

But if i have different clients with the same name?.. How could i do it?

Just use more querys, such as group or save set, to get the unique client definition. For example:

. type:nsr client;name:calvin;group:Test
update retention policy: Month

. type:nsr client;name:calvin;groupefault
update retention policy: Year

I suggest you do some experimenting with ha dummy client.

Cheers!
