Merge duplicate backup clients
ADVANCED USE ONLY - Due to the nature of this utility's processing, if executed incorrectly, backup clients could be incorrectly moved. This process is particularly risky in a multi-tenancy environment, where multiple IT Analytics domains could have hosts/servers with the same name.
This merge utility can be used for clients that have been collected from the following backup products: Veritas NetBackup and Commvault Simpana.
Description | Under certain circumstances, backup clients may have duplicate entries in the IT Analytics database. This utility enables you to merge the data of clients that appear more than once in the database. In most cases, it is not necessary to shut down the data receiver while the client records are being merged. Although not required, it is recommended that you shut down the data receiver before executing this utility so that data will not continue to be collected for the hosts that are being merged. Merging of NetBackup primary servers is not supported. |
Usage | execute duplicate_package.mergeDuplicateServers(<'host_grp'>,<host_name_type>); Example: exec duplicate_package.mergeDuplicateServers('/Corp',1);
Where: host_grp is the explicit host group path and name. host_name_typeindicates whether to use only the host's base name while finding duplicates, or use the fully qualified name. 0 = fully qualified host name, 1 = host base name. Example of a host base name: QAhost1 Example of a fully qualified host name: QAhost1.yourcompany.com |
