Suspend scheduling specific clients within a policy
I have a request to suspend NetBackup for approximately 30 servers during a period of upgrade on these servers. These servers exist in various policies with other clients, but I need to suspend only...
Okay.. you dont have that option in netbackup directly..
however you can put the bpclient command in cron to run at the time of schedule start time(next wednesday)
schedule this command in crontab to run at requier time
bpclient -client <client name> -update -offline -onlineat <activate end date>
if you would like to specify with time then you need to use unix time in command line
bpclient -client <client_name> -update -offline -ut -onlineat <unix time stamp>
if client is not added under the bpclient add it now and schedule the above command in corntab
bpclient -client <client_name> -add
