Query Node

Edit online

The query node command displays all the nodes for which an administrative user ID has authority to perform operations. You are prompted for the IBM® Storage Protect administrator ID.

Ideally, the administrative user ID has at least client owner authority over the client workstation node they are using either from the command line or from the web.

Use the type option to specify the type of node to filter for. The following are the valid values:
  • Windows operating systemsLinux operating systemsOracle Solaris operating systemsAIX operating systemsMac OS X operating systemsnas
  • client
  • server
  • any
The default is any.
Note: When the IBM Storage Protect for Virtual Environments: Data Protection for VMware license file is installed on a vStorage backup server, the platform string that is stored on the IBM Storage Protect server is set to TDP VMware for every nodename that is used on that machine. The platform string can be used in the context of PVU calculations. If a nodename is being used to back up the machine with standard Backup-Archive client functions (for example, file-level or image backup), then this platform string would be interpreted as a client for the purposes of PVU calculations.

For more information about processor value units, see Estimating processor value units in the IBM Storage Protect server documentation.
