netbackup 100 client offline

Hi ALL,

I have an activity on my master server.

 

I need to make 100 client offline so that Backup SLA is not affected.

Can anybody provide me with complete scripts for this.

I cant suspend my scheduler.

============================
 
for client in `cat listofclients`
 
do
 
bpclient -client $client -update -offline -ut -onlineat unixtime.
 
done

    to this

    bpclient -client -update -online

    I am not sure what you are after you already appear to have the script

    You do have to add each client to the client DB

    Eg.

     bpclient -client nbmaster00 -add

    Then I can run a command like this :

    bpclient -client nbmaster00 -update -offline -ut -onlineat 1372730570

    And confirm it is offline

    root@nbmaster00 testdata $ bpclient -client nbmaster00 -L
    Client Name: nbmaster00
     Current Host:
            Hostname: nbmaster00
     Offline:       Yes
     Online at:     07/01/2013 19:02:50
     
     
    So if clientlist is the file containing the list of clients
     
    cat clientlist |while read line 
    do
     bpclient -client $line -add
    done
     
    cat clientlist |while read line 
    do
    bpclient -client $line -update -offline -ut -onlineat 1372730570
    done
     

    You will have to work out the ctime to use to get the cllients back online

      cat offline.sh
     #!/bin/ksh
    PATH=$PATH:/usr/openv/netbackup/bin:/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd
    cat /tmp/offclient |while read line
    do
    bpclient -client $line -update -offline -ut -onlineat 1371859200
    done
     

    [admincmd]$ cat /tmp/offclient
    unix12

    [admincmd]$ pwd
    /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd
     

     []$ ls -ltr /tmp/offclient
    -rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 33 Jun 20 16:41 /tmp/offclient

     

    Getting the below error when running the script:(client is added in host prop--client attributes)

     

    [ admincmd]$ sudo ./offline.sh
    bpclient: cannot determine query type

     

    []$ pwd
    /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd
    [ admincmd]$

    Not sure at the moment, the command I posted I tested on my system so I am confident it is correct. Did you add the client(s) bpclient -client -add What does this show bpclient -client -L Try running the command itself bpclient -client -update -offline -ut -onlineat 1371859200 I'll have a look tomorrow (Fri) on a test system.

    Can you try to use full path /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd/bpclient instead the bpclient?

    I think the logical is correct.

    Yes ,I add the client.

     

    Client is going offline with above command.

    I need to do that in one shot for more than 100 client.

    Please let me confirm
