Adding Subclient Proxies to Back Up Virtual Machines (VMware command line)

You can use the command line to add proxies to a subclient under a specified virtualization client, VMware instance, and backup set.

You can also add a client group that includes multiple proxies.

Procedure

1. Download the update_subclient_proxy_template.xml file and save it on the computer where the command will be executed.

2. Log in to the CommServe host using the qlogin command.

3. Open the .xml file and add the proxy client names to be added under proxies node. For example, to add Proxy1, add the following entry in the .xml file:

   <proxies>
     <memberServers>
     <client>
       <clientName>$[Proxy1]</clientName>
      </client>
     </memberServers>
   

   Repeat this step to add all proxies and save the .xml file.

   To add a client group that includes multiple proxies, you can include the following entry:

   <proxies>
     <memberServers>
     <client>
       <clientGroupName>$[ProxyGroup]</clientGroupName>
      </client>
     </memberServers>
   

4. Execute the following command from the software_installation_directory/Base folder after substituting the parameter values.

   qoperation execute -af <download_location>/update_subclient_proxy_template.xml -entity/appName '$[Virtual Server]' -entity/clientName $[xxxxx] -entity/clientGroupName $[xxxxx] -entity/instanceName $[xxxxx] -entity/backupsetName $[xxxxx] -entity/subclientName $[xxxxx]
