NetVault 12.2 - CLI Reference Guide

Introduction Getting started Using the command-line utilities Using the nvreport utility

nvpluginaccess

Description

Enables CLI backups and generation of CLI-based reports for plug-ins that require the use of database-related utility (for example, “onbar” for Informix database users and “rman” for Oracle). For more information, see the relevant plug-in user’s guide.

Syntax
nvpluginaccess [-remove -client <client names>] | [-client <client name>
[-account <account name> -password <account password>]]
Options
 
Table 84. nvpluginaccess
Option
Description

-client

Specifies the name of the NetVault Backup Client.

-account

Specifies the name of the NetVault Backup user account that you want to use with this command.

The specified user account must be granted all privileges in NetVault Backup.

-password

Specifies the password for the user account.

nvpgdbpasswd

Description

Use this utility to change the password for the PostgreSQL database superuser.

(The password is initially set when you install or upgrade the NetVault Backup Server software.)

Syntax
nvpgdbpasswd store <password>
nvpgdbpasswd change <current password> <new password>
Options
 
Table 85. nvpgdbpasswd
Option
Description

store <password>

Updates the PostgreSQL database superuser password in the pgdb.cfg file (NetVault Backup configuration file). It does not change the superuser password in the PostgreSQL Database itself; it just updates the pgdb.cfg file.

You can use this option to update the password in the configuration file after the password is changed in the database using any PostgreSQL native tool (for example, the psql utility).

change <current password> <new password>

Changes the database superuser password both in the PostgreSQL DB and in the pgdb.cfg file.

You must specify both the current password and the new password with this option.

Notes
•
A password for the PostgreSQL database superuser cannot contain the following characters:
\ and spaces
Escape the special characters such that the desired password is properly received by the CLI. For example, if the password is <>&#|/"':*.-`()[]{}$@? then, enter it as the following:
On Linux shell: \<\>\&#\|/\"\':\*.-\`\(\)[]{}\$@?
On Windows command prompt: "<>&#|/""':*.-`()[]{}$@?".
•
Before updating the superuser password, you must stop the NetVault Backup Service.
