Networker 8.0.1.1 Bootstrap notification

Question

Hi members,

in the past (7.6.x and earlier) we used the bootstrap notification not to directly send the bootstrap via email (e.g. to root) but to temporary store the information in a file and copy it via scp to a monitoring server (all linux). Since we moved to NetWorker 8.x this seems not to work anymore. Here the command we have been using in the 'Action' field until now:

/bin/cat >> /tmp/bootstrap.$$;scp /tmp/bootstrap.$$ special_user@monitoring-server:~/Bootstraps/Bootstrap; rm /tmp/bootstrap.$$

Thanks!

This is correct - I found myself the same.  Bootstrap workflow has been changed as those who didn't use 'no index save' were having some big performance issues with mminfo -B which would run upon completion of the group.  So, trick with cat no longer works in NW8.  However, mminfo -B is now fast so you may wish to call it instead.

hwilfing,

Please consider moving this question to the proper forum for maximum visibility. Questions written to the users' own "Discussions" space don't get the same amount of attention and questions can go unanswered for a long time. You can do so by selecting "Move" under ACTIONS along the right. Then search for and select: "NetWorker Support Forum" which would be the most relevant for this question. There is also a recent post demonstrating the steps to do the same:

EMC Community Network Frequently Asked Questions

Seeing though that almost a month has elapsed since you posted, maybe you have already found the answer? If so, consider replying and also marking the question as "Answered" so that it can help others that have the same question. If not, once relocated, it will then have more visibility by the community of dedicated customers, partners, and EMC employees that are eager to assist.

Hello Christopher,

Thanks a lot for your hint. I just followed your instructions and moved my question to the NetWorker Support Forum. I wasn’t aware that it’s not been there already.

Best regards,

Herbert
