create a volume pools in command line

[MariusD]

Hi all,

can I create "n" Volume Pools and add a Tape in the Pool who was created .... in command line?????

I want to create 37 Volume Pools with 1 Tape in each pool with one command line. (NetBackup 6.5.2 for Windows Server 2003 x64).

Wait for an answer.

 Tks,

Marius D.

I think this will be helpful !!

install_path\Volmgr\bin\vmpool [-h EMM_server | volume_database_host]

-list_all [-b|-bx] | -list_scratch | -list_catalog_backup | -create

-pn pool_name -description description [-mpf mpf_max] | -update -pn

pool_name [-description description] [-mpf mpf_max] | -delete

pool_name | -set_scratch pool_name | -unset_scratch pool_name |

-set_catalog_backup pool_name | -unset_catalog_backup pool_name

ok, thank you for this command, but:

i want to make 20 volume pools: 

create volume pool "increm01" -> and add tape: "tape01"  {20 tapes: from Monday -Friday , 4 weeks}

create volume pool "increm02" -> and add tape: "tape02" 

....

create v.p. "increm20" -> add tape: "tape20"

create v.p. "full_weekly01" -> add "tape21"   {14 tape: each Satursday for 3 Months}

.... 

create v.p. "full_weekly14" -> add "tape34"

create v.p. "full_monthly01" -> "tape35"

create v.p. "full_monthly02" -> "tape36"

create v.p. "full_quarterly01" -> "tape37"

 

 I want also for all days one policy with schedules for each tape/day. i want to do all off this with one command or one script, but I don´t know how.

can you help me???

I have found this command:

vmpool -create -pn {pool name} ...

bppolicynew {policy name} -M {master server} ...

     bpplsched {policy name} -V -M {master server} -L -label {schedul name} ..

     bpplclients {policy name} -add {host name} ...

     bppinclude {policy name} -add {paht name} -f {file name}...

 I want to make somethingto do all this commands automat, and repeate for "n" pools and "n" schedules.

Get some help?!?!?!?!

You'll have to run the 'vmpool' command 20 times to create 20 pools.  Automating that isn't really part of NetBackup.  You'd use a scripting language like shell/batch/perl/java/VB to do it.  Take your pick. 

Once you've created the pools, you can use 'vmchange' to change the pool of an existing (but unallocated) volume into that pool.

I think this Batch file will be Helpful if you are using windows platform.

cd \
cd C:\Program Files\Veritas\Volmgr\bin
vmpool -create -pn INCR01 -description "INCR-01"
vmadd -m TAPE01 -mt HCART2 -p 4
vmpool -create -pn INCR02 -description "INCR-02"
vmadd -m TAPE02 -mt HCART2 -p 5
vmpool -create -pn INCR03 -description "INCR-03"
vmadd -m TAPE03 -mt HCART2 -p 6
vmpool -create -pn INCR04 -description "INCR-04"
vmadd -m TAPE04 -mt HCART2 -p 7
vmpool -create -pn INCR05 -description "INCR-05"
vmadd -m TAPE05 -mt HCART2 -p 8
vmpool -create -pn INCR06 -description "INCR-06"
vmadd -m TAPE06 -mt HCART2 -p 9
vmpool -create -pn INCR07 -description "INCR-07"
vmadd -m TAPE07 -mt HCART2 -p 10
vmpool -create -pn INCR08 -description "INCR-08"
vmadd -m TAPE08 -mt HCART2 -p 11
vmpool -create -pn INCR09 -description "INCR-09"
vmadd -m TAPE09 -mt HCART2 -p 12
vmpool -create -pn INCR10 -description "INCR-10"
vmadd -m TAPE10 -mt HCART2 -p 13

Save this File from Notepad with .bat extension

In this Pool no (-pn ) is the Volme Pool Number. By Default 6.5 having 3 Volme Pools 

Number 0 - None

Number 1 - NetBackup 

Number 2 - DataStore

Number 3 - CatalogBackup

So Select your Pool Number according to you Environment.

Let me know if u have any more issues !!!

A good idee with this Batch file ...but ca I do all of this with one command or a little program in batch programing??

    "

     cd \
     cd C:\Program Files\Veritas\Volmgr\bin

     vmpool -create -pn INCR01 -description "INCR-01"
     vmadd -m TAPE01 -mt HCART2 -p 4

    .................

    vmpool -create -pn INCRn -description "INCR-n"
    vmadd -m TAPEn -mt HCART2 -p n+4"                      where "n" - positive number.

   cd\

   cd C:\program Files\Veritas\NetBackup\bin\admincmd

   bppolicynew POLICY_TEST 

   bpplclients ......................

   bpplinclude  ........................

   bpplsched POLICY_TEST -add MONDAY01 -...

   bpplsched POLICY_TEST -add MONDAY02 -...

   bpplsched POLICY_TEST -add MONDAY03 -...

   bpplsched POLICY_TEST -add MONDAY04 -...

   bpplsched POLICY_TEST -add TUESDAY01 -...

   ...

   bpplsched POLICY_TEST -add TUESDAY04 -...

   ...

   bpplsched POLICY_TEST -add FRIDAY04 -...

 "

I can do all of this manual in Administration Console (easier) but a want the PC to do all. I give just first name ex.: INCR01 and n volume pools,  TAPE01 and n tapes, ... something do it with batch programming.

knows somebody????

ThisThis VB Script Will do that things Easily !!!

Dim IDCount,tpvmno

tpvmno=0

For IDCount= 0 to 11

strcommandvm="vmpool -create -pn INCR" & IDCount & " -description INCR" & IDCount

tpvmno=IDCount+4

strcommandtp="vmadd -m TAPE" & IDCount & " -mt HCART2 -p " & tpvmno

Set objShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")

Set objExec = objShell.Exec("SETX HOMEPATH C:\Program Files\Veritas\Volmgr\bin")

Set objExec = objShell.Exec(strcommandvm)

Set objExec = objShell.Exec(strcommandtp)

Next

Wscript.Echo "Task Completed. Thanks for using the script!!!!"

In this tpvmno is for Volume Pool No- Choose this accrding to your environment !

Save this File as .VBS

Let me know if you have any more Clarification !!!
