mccli dynamic rule
Anyone know the format mccli is looking for to create dynamic rules? I've got a few rules to create between two systems and would prefer to script it to minimize typos. The latest MCCLI guide I can find is 7.3 and does not contain the rule command.
mccli rule add 1,23001,Arguments required by CLI command are either missing or empty. Attribute Value ------------ ------------------- missing-args --file-path, --name

Thanks shadyalama, but I'm actually looking for VMware dynamic rules, not roles.

Can you please elaborate what do you mean by VMware Dynamic rules?
What do you use that for?
Examples of the rules that you want to create between these two systems.

This is a new feature in 7.4 that lets you move VMs into backup groups based on tags (other criteria as well). There is an option to script these in mccli, but it needs an xml file which contains the criteria of the rule.I'm just looking for documentation of the format of the xml file or a way to export rules.

Hello Parzival,
The syntax is not mentioned in Avamar 7.4 mccli user guide either. I'll update you once I got a result from engineering.

Hello Parzival,
Unfortunately, rule/dynamic policy is not supported in MCCLI yet. You will have to create it via MCS GUI.

Hi Parzival,
The command you are looking for is: mccli user edit --role=
The options for the --role flag is as following:
[--role={ActivityOperator | Administrator | Auditor | Backup | BackupOperator | BackupRestore | BackupRestoreOperator | Restore | RestoreIgnoreFilePermissions | RestoreOperator}]
Please check page 129 of the 7.3 mccli guide for more details.
Appreciate your update and feedback if this was helpful to solve the problem; don't forget to mark the question as answered when the problem is solved.
Best Regards,
