client name (uuid) and yet more webui woes
Been here many many years and two posts in a week :)
I'm forced into using the webui to make Nutanix backups work properly (with file based recoveries). Why can't it let me create a Nutanix based policy via CLI or the old admin console. The hypervisor policy type isn't fit for purpose.
Anyway the webui seems very awkward. Why won't it let you export from the activity monitor? Why can't we select and copy/paste either. Someone has actively prevented that? Why wouldn't you want someone to export to CSV at the very basic. Some shady stuff going on here. How hard can it be to make a list of backups export out for analysis.
So command line, bpimagelist shows the clientnames as
ff37194a-3e60-422e-89d8-5fcbbfb1803d_BLAHBLAH.nutanix.local
On the old VMware policy you can define how client names are presented, but there is no such option on the webui Nutanix protection plan. Is there a command that you run to query what that uuid matches up to. I've checked the db/images entries and not found anything of use.
After these decades using NetBackup it really seems like there is active work to force users into limited work flows (which themselves aren't completed). I totally get wanting to uniform things and move away from the install admin console (I'm sick of reinstalling that regularly as well) but at least get your webui actually on parity before limiting our way forward.
