Avamar 7.5.0-183: using mccli client delete command does not seem to work for ContainerClients?
Hi,
we are running Avamar 7.5.0-183 and backing up a folder from vcenter where the vm's in there are getting built nightly, so they get added to avamar automatically for backup (this is great). The problem is we now have a whole bunch of vm's listed in avamar that are considered deleted in vcenter by avamar and they show up with a gray icon versus blue
. I have run the following command to delete them:
mccli client delete --name=/ /ContainerClients/ _UBtoIBmWhxWoFZ6n2ptsyA
I get back a valid delete message:
0,22212,Client deleted
Attribute Value
.....
However, querying the avamar db still has an entry for the above client I issued the delete command for and from the admin gui, I can still see the client, so it looks like the command does not work.
From the admin gui in the ContainerClients domain, I can right click and delete the client and it gets deleted right away (no longer shows up in the avamar db or the admin gui).
Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

That could be a bug. Have you opened an SR?

Hi,
yes, I opened a SR and they are still looking into it, no luck so far.

Any way to delete via command line? I tried this 'mccli client delete' command and get the 'client deleted' result but it doesn't go away.
We use Avamar hot folders to auto add VMware VMs via tags to avamar. We have a ton of clients that no longer exist in VMware and were never backed up. I would like to clean-up avamar client list by deleting via command line.
