This utility enables you to automatically organize clients by the type of the Veritas NetBackup policy to which they belong; for example, Standard, NDMP, ORACLE. The utility automatically creates host groups for each Veritas NetBackup policy type and links clients that are members of these policy types to the host group(s) accordingly.

Example: exec setupClientsByPolicyType('/Global/Corp', NULL);

Where:

source_host_group is the full pathname to the server group hierarchy to traverse for clients, for example /Aptare/hostgroup1. The default value for this parameter is NULL (which should not be within quotes). If set to NULL, the utility automatically locates the highest level host group to traverse.

destination_server_group is the full pathname to the server group under which the new groups by Policy type will be automatically created. The default value for this parameter is NULL (which should not be within quotes). If set to NULL, the utility automatically creates a host group called NetBackup Policy Types within source_host_group.

 

If a client is removed from one Veritas NetBackup policy type, added to a new policy type and the utility is subsequently run again, the client will appear in the new policy type host group but will not be deleted from the old policy group. To remove the client from the old policy group and completely re-synchronize the grouping structure, simply delete the Policy Type grouping hierarchy via the deleteEntireGroupContents utility, referenced in Delete Host Group, and then run the setupClientsByPolicy utility again.
