Name

nbcertupdater — run the certificate update utility

SYNOPSIS

nbcertupdater -host host_name [-broker broker_name] [-port broker_port] [-v] [-d] [-nolog]

nbcertupdater -ofile output_file [-ifile input_file] [-numparallel num_parallel_hosts] [-numattempts attempts_per_host] [-broker broker_name] [-port broker_port] [-v] [-d] [-nolog]

nbcertupdater -listonly -ofile output_file [-v] [-d] [-nolog]

nbcertupdater -help

On UNIX systems, the directory path to this command is /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd/

On Windows systems, the directory path to this command is install_path\NetBackup\bin\admincmd\

DESCRIPTION

The certificate update utility (nbcertupdater) provides an automated mechanism to contact a set of NetBackup hosts that can run a setuptrust operation with a specified authentication broker. The utility can also query the NBU_Machines private domain of the local authentication broker to generate the following: the set of NetBackup hosts that you can contact for the setuptrust operation.

The utility can only be run as a local administrator on the master server. It runs in three modes:

  • Process a single host. You specify a single host name on the command line. The utility contacts the host and runs setuptrust with the specified authentication broker.

  • Process multiple hosts. You specify the host names in an input file. If an input file is unspecified, nbcertupdater automatically generates the list of hosts to contact from the NBU_Machines private domain of the local authentication broker. It spawns a child to process each host. The -numparallel option controls the number of hosts that are processed in parallel.

  • Create the host list from the authentication broker. The utility creates the list from the NBU_Machines private domain of the local authentication broker and writes it to the output file. The hosts are not processed.

OPTIONS

-b | -broker broker_name

The broker with which trust should be set up. If a broker is not specified, trust is set up with the NetBackup master server.

-d

Enables debug mode. The utility prints debug messages on the console.

-h | -host host_name

Specifies the NetBackup host where the setuptrust operation is performed.

-help

Prints command usage information.

-i | -ifile input_file

Specifies the name of the input file that contains the names of NetBackup hosts to be processed. Each line in the input file maps to a host name (except for comment lines).

-l | -listonly

Generates the list of NetBackup hosts from the local authentication broker, but does not process them.

-na | -numattempts attempts_per_host

Specifies the number of attempts to process the host before the utility declares failure. The default is 1.

-nolog

Shuts off all logging for the utility operation.

-np | -numparallel num_parallel_hosts

Specifies the number of hosts to be processed in parallel. The default is 3.

-o | -ofile output_file

Specifies the name of the output file.

-p | -port broker_port

Specifies the port number of the selected broker. If this option is not specified, the default broker port is used to contact the broker.

-v

Enables verbose mode. The utility prints extra informational messages on the console.

OUTPUT MESSAGES

HOST_NOT_FOUND

The host name cannot be found.

BPCD_CONN_FAIL

Failed to connect to bpcd on host. The host may not have NetBackup client software installed on it.

# bpnbat -ShowBrokerCerts
USER_INTERRUPT

User requested termination of operation. This error is returned if the user presses Ctrl-C to terminate the program.

SUCCESS

The host processed successfully.

EXAMPLES

Example 1 - Update a NetBackup host where the authentication client libraries are installed on it.

# nbcertupdater -h huffman.abc.com
Logging to directory /openv/netbackup/logs/certupdater>
Processing host huffman.abc.com
Host processed successfully

Example 2 - Generate a list of computer names from the NBU_Machines private domain of the local authentication broker. This list is the same as the list that is displayed when you run the bpnbat -ShowMachines command.

# nbcertupdater -listonly -o outfile.txt
Logging to directory </usr/openv/netbackup/logs/certupdater>
Generating host list from the local AB
Writing result to file <outfile.txt>

Example 3 - Use an input file to specify the hosts to be updated. The first host is updated successfully. bpcd is not running on the second host.

# cat infile.txt
huffman.vxindia.com
atom.vxindia.com

# nbcertupdater -i infile.txt -o outfile.txt
Logging to directory </usr/openv/netbackup/logs/certupdater>
Reading host names from file infile.txt
Attempt 1: Processing 2 hosts
Processing host huffman.abc.com (1/2)
Processing host atom.abc.com (2/2)
Completed host huffman.abc.com (SUCCESS)
Completed host atom.abc.com (BPCD_CONN_FAIL)
Total hosts attempted: 2 (1 succeeded)
Writing result to file <outfile.txt>

# cat outfile.txt
#huffman.abc.com #SUCCESS@(02/17/10 16:58:19)
atom.abc.com #BPCD_CONN_FAIL@(02/17/10 16:58:19)
