DESCRIPTION
The nbsqlcmd command can add, list, modify, and delete SQL Server assets.
With the nbsqlcmd command, you can add a SQL Server instance asset or a SQL Server Availability Group asset. The command can associate an existing SQL Server instance asset with an Availability Group asset. The command lets you modify a given SQL Server instance asset with the given asset ID. You can use the command to discover instances on a specified host.
You can use the command to discover Availability Groups that are associated with a given SQL Server instance asset. You can also use the command to discover the databases that are associated with a given SQL Server instance asset.
The command lets you list SQL Server database and instance assets. You can also list SQL Server availability groups and SQL Server Availability Group replicas.
In addition to using nbsqlcmd to list NetBackup CMS SQL Server credentials you can also manage your credentials, and associate a given credential with an asset.
You can use the command to delete a SQL Server Availability Group asset, a SQL Server instance asset, or a SQL Server replica asset.
Before you run the nbsqlcmd command, you must run the bpnbat - login - loginType WEB command. The bpnbat command authenticates your web services logon. The user that is specified when you run bpnbat -login -loginType WEB should be a member of an RBAC role with Assets, SQL Server, View, and Recover permissions.
