Veritas NetBackup for Hadoop Administrator's Guide

To add a backup host

1. In the Backup Selections tab, click New and add the backup host in the following format:

   Backup_Host=<IP_address or hostname>

   For more information on how to create a policy, See Creating a BigData backup policy.

   

   Alternatively, you can also add a backup host using the following command:

   For Windows:

   bpplinclude PolicyName -add "Backup_Host=IP_address or hostname"

   For UNIX:

   bpplinclude PolicyName -add 'Backup_Host=IP_address or hostname'

   For more information, See Using NetBackup Command Line Interface (CLI) to create a BigData policy for Hadoop clusters .

2. As a best practice, add the entries of all the NameNodes and DataNodes to the /etc/hosts file on all the backup hosts. You must add the host name in FQDN format.

   OR

   Add the appropriate DNS entries in the /etc/resolve.conf file.

To remove a backup host

1. In the Backup Selections tab, select the backup host that you want to remove.
2. Right click the selected backup host and click Delete.

   Alternatively, you can also remove a backup host using the following command:

   For Windows:

   bpplinclude PolicyName -delete "Backup_Host=IP_address or hostname"

   For UNIX:

   bpplinclude PolicyName -delete 'Backup_Host=IP_address or hostname'
