Unable to configure client

[mweinerissi]

Hi again! I am having trouble pushing install_client_files to a specific client. Anything I am missing?

[root@rhel bin]# ./install_client_files ssh 10.100.0.97
no entity was found

Client 10.100.0.97 was not found in the configuration database.
The client files were not installed on 10.100.0.97.

[root@rhel bin]# ./install_client_files ssh root@10.100.0.97
no entity was found

Client root@10.100.0.97 was not found in the configuration database.
The client files were not installed on root@10.100.0.97.

[root@rhel bin]# /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd/bppllist
cannot connect on socket (25)

Use client hostname instead of IP in the command line.  Also the hostname must be in an existing policy.

Can you give an example, please?

[root@rhel bin]# ./install_client_files ssh maria70
no entity was found

Client maria70 was not found in the configuration database.
The client files were not installed on maria70.

I saw that before but it didn't state how to add a policy

[Will_Restore]

Use the wizard to create a new Policy

If you do not know how to create a policy, how will you manage NBU? Have you had any training? Do you have access to NBU manuals?

I heard GEICO is buying Veritas.  You know, "so simple a caveman can do it"?  :D

LOL!!! This is for Linux so I am not sure if the youtube video will work.

Marianne, this is my first go around
