How to delete client from nbemm

[wizard_s32]

small question:

How to delete a client with help of command nbemm with nbu 7.1 ?

I use

nbemmcmd -deletehost -machinename xyz -machinetype client

i think i am missing deletehost option .. would that be my master server name ??

What are you trying to achieve specifically?

nbemmcmd utilised for adding/removing media/master/ndmp hosts etc never known it to be utilised for removing "clients"

From man page:

/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd/nbemmcmd       -deletehost
     [-brief]   -machinename   string   -machinetype  api  |
     app_cluster | cluster | master | media | ndmp |  master
     | media | ndmp-mediaid string

If you just want to remove a client from the host properties list then this is populated by client entries within policies - just delete said client from all policies.

emm server does not have the clients info...so there is no question of removing with nbemmcmd

just remove it from netbackup policy database..

you also need to use bpclient -delete <clientname> to remove the client configurations .. if it is already configured...
