Removing a BMR boot server that no longer exists

[Krishna_Sriniva]

Hi ,

I have a BMR Boot server configured on linux VM earlier and recently the VM has been reimaged by our team as we are no longer using the same. BMR boot server has not been removed from the master server DB before reimaging the boot server . Now, When I am trying to delete the BMR boot server from Master server. Getting the errors as below.

hy1m1xibkp001:/usr/openv/netbackup/bin # bmrs -operation delete -resource srt -name LINUX

V-128-749 Operation failed due to network problem.

[Error] V-123-49 Operation failed.

hy1m1xibkp001:/usr/openv/netbackup/bin # bmrs -operation delete -resource bootserver -name fn09vir1094

This operation may take considerable amount of time. Please wait...

[Error] V-123-53 A boot server that is currently hosting Shared Resource Trees

cannot be deleted. Please delete all the Shared Resource Trees

hosted by the boot server, and retry the operation.

the command that you used above is to delete SRT not the boot server...

elow steps to deregister the boot server from Master server, but in your case, you may need to try 2nd and 3rd steps from the Master server as your boot server is not avalaible.

Deactivating a BMR boot server on a UNIX or Linux system

Deactivate a BMR boot server by using the following procedure.

To deactivate a BMR boot server

1 On the NetBackup BMR master server, run the following command to

determine the boot server name:

/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/bmrs -o list -r bootserver

This command lists all BMR boot servers.

2 Log on as the root user to the BMR boot server host.

3 On the NetBackup BMR master server, run the following command to delete

the boot server name from the BMR database:

/usr/openv/netbackup/bin bmrsetupboot -deregister

On successful execution of the command boot server instance is not visible in

NetBackupAdministrator ConsoleNetBackupAdministrator>BMRMenu>Boot

server . Un-registering stops the BMR Boot server daemon running.

Hi,

bmrs -operation delete -resource bootserver -name <bootserverName> -force

Thanks Riaan,

Force option was missed by me . It helped me and now I have deleted the boot server.
