How to add VM client from CLI

proxycp 2.78 should have --addvm option, it should also work on Avamar 7.2.

Are you getting any particular error while using this options

Is this only on Avamar 7.3?  I don't see it on 7.2.  I upgraded to the latest proxycp.jar version 2.78.

Aha!  I discovered my error!  The curl command updated the version in /usr/local/avamar/bin, but my sudo command was running against the file in the ~admin directory.  Got pointed to the one in /usr/local/avamar/bin and all is well.

Thanks much!

How to add Multiple Clients Using this --addvm Command? Can we use a Text File with --filename?

Please let me know.

An easy way is to simply put all the VMs in a file, with each VM name on a line.  Then you can run a simple 'for' loop on the CLI to add each VM in sequence.

Let us know if that helps!

Thanks for the Response,

Can Please Help me with the Exact Command with 'for' loop?

Below is the Command to add a Particular VM to a Particular Domain,

java -jar proxycp.jar --addvm --vc --vm --domain

I will start by assuming that you'll use the same VMware vCenter name and same Domain in your list, and only the VM name will change.  For this, I would create a text file  called "vm.txt" that contained each VM name on its own line and no other characters, i.e.

VM1

VM2

VM3

etc.

If you're trying to build this file on a Windows computer in a text editor, be 100% sure your file is encoded for ASCII.

I would next make a file called "rename.sh" on the Utility Node and put in the following:

#!/bin/bash

for i in `cat vm.txt`

do

    java -jar proxycp.jar --addvm --vc my.vcenter.org --vm $i --domain my.domain.org

done

What this does is simply read each line in the file and run the command against the VM name.  In the above script, you may also need to provide the full path to the java command or to the proxycp.jar file, depending on your shell environment and path settings.

Let us know if that helps!

Thanks Karl, It worked.
