593.0. "Dynamic settings on NT server verion of decnsr" by NNTPD::"[email protected]" (Avi Koski) Fri Apr 18 1997 10:58

Hi all,

On the Digital Unix version of decnsr, in order to modify DYNAMICALLY
the parameters of "active devices" and "parallelism" from outside "nwadmin",
we can call "nsradmin" with the "-i" option, as follows:

file nsr.crontab
================
#!/bin/sh
nsradmin -i /usr/local/nsr.com3

file /usr/local/nsr.com3
========================
show active devices; parallelism
p name: mars.iso.dec.com; active devices; parallelism
update name: mars.iso.dec.com; active devices:2; parallelism:8

How can this method be implemented on the NT server version of decnsr ?
                                          -----------------
[Basically, we would like to use one device, for regular backups
and two devices for cloning].

Any help is appreciated.

Avi

593.1this sounds more like an NT question and not an NSR question...DECWET::LENOXa bit too excitingFri Apr 18 1997 11:4011
there is an nsradmin executable for the NT system, it
also can use -i, so the NSR part of the equation should
be the same.

as far as the crontab equivalency, either the resource
kit or something else includes 'at' functionality, I have
not used it but this is presumably the part you have
questions about?  I think there are some other ways to
do that as well, but I have to reread what those options
were.

    Start the Windows NT Schedule service.  Use the AT
    command to run a batch file which contains the 
    dos commands to find the nsradmin command and
    execute it.
