creating multiple client-instances with nsradmin -i
Hello Experts
we used nsradmin to quickly create multiple instances of the same client. This worked fine in Networker 8. But now we switched to Networker 9.2.1.1 and failed using the same input files.
It looks like Networker will no longer be able to create two instances of the same client anymore.
We feeded content like below into nsradmin:
create type:NSR client; name:
. type:NSR client;name:
update comment: Linux Client
update tag: LINFS
update scheduled backup: Disabled
update Client direct: Enabled
update directive: LIN_OS
update save set: All
update protection group list: LIN_FS_20
update backup command:
update Pre command:
update Post command:
update application information: NSR_PS_DEBUG_LEVEL=0
update aliases:
update remote access:
update executable path:
update backup type: Filesystem
create type:NSR client; name:
If we are now adding a second client instance within the same input file, the result is an error message like the following:
update failed: save set of All would be specified by two
clients with the namein group LIN_FS_20
Any idea how we can create multiple clients and client instances in the same input file in NetWorker 9.2.1.1?
Many Thanks
Christian

According to the error message nothing seems to be worng with the resource itself - it is the fact that you cannot assign the same client/save set combination more than once to the same group.

NetWorker checks for clients having same saveset in a same group. This has been around with NW 8.2 onwards. Why would you want to have multiple instance of clients having same saveset in a given group?

Hello Suraj
it is not the intention to add a client with the same but with a different save set! The issue is, that we are not able to create the second instance even if we use a different save set!

Hi cbernet,
as far as I remember if one save set contains "all", no other save set (even with a different save set (e.g. only "/etc/hosts"). Did you try to renaim "all" to a different save set?

Your method looks a bit weird to me as you never define the save set - you always update and then your create a new instance.
I think that in this case NW might always use 'all' by default.
I would run the program as follows:
...
create type: nsr client; name:abc; save set xyz
update ...
...
but never use create ... in the end.

Michael Said it right, if you have a single client with All saveset specified, it will exclude the second client instance in that group:
So may be change the line which says update save set: All and try it again. Keep exclusive savesets.
