NSR_RESOURCE(5)						       NSR_RESOURCE(5)

NAME
       nsr_resource - NetWorker resource format

SYNOPSIS
       resource ::= attribute list <blank line>
       attribute list ::= attribute [ ; attribute ]*
       attribute ::= name [ : value [ , value ]* ]
       name, value ::= <printable string>

DESCRIPTION
       The NetWorker system uses files containing resources to describe itself
       and its clients.	 Each resource represents a component of the NetWorker
       system that might need administration.  Devices, schedules, and clients
       are examples of NetWorker resources.  The system administrator  manipu‐
       lates  resources	 to  control  the  NetWorker system.  The file and the
       resources in them are accessible through NetWorker  Management  Console
       and  nsradmin(8)	 programs.  They can also be viewed with a normal text
       editor.

       The files all share a common format.  The same format is	 used  by  the
       nsradmin(8)   program.	Each  resource	is  described  by  a  list  of
       attributes, and ends in a blank line.  Each attribute in the  attribute
       list  has a name and an optional list of values.	 The attribute name is
       separated from the attribute values by a colon  (:),  attribute	values
       are  separated  by  commas  (,), and each attribute ends in a semicolon
       (;).  A comma, semicolon or back-slash (\) at the end of a line contin‐
       ues  the line.  A line beginning with a pound-sign (#) is a comment and
       the rest of the line is ignored.	 The back-slash character can also  be
       used  to	 escape	 the special meaning of other characters (comma, semi‐
       colon, pound-sign, and back-slash).

       The attribute name and values  can  contain  any	 printable  character.
       Upper  and  lower  case	is not distinguished on comparisons, and extra
       white space is removed from both ends but not from inside of names  and
       values. For example,
	      Name: this is a test;
       matches
	      name   :	 This Is A Test ;
       but is different than
	      Name: this      is     a	  test;

       In  the	following  example resource, there are eight attributes.  They
       are type, name, server,	schedule,  directive,  group,  save  set,  and
       remote access.  The remote access attribute has no value.

		       type: NSR client;
		       name: venus;
		     server: earth;
		   schedule: Default;
		  directive: Unix standard directives;
		      group: Default;
		   save set: All;
	      remote access: ;

       In the following resource, there are six attributes.  The administrator
       attribute has three values: &engineering,  root,	 and  operator.	  Note
       that  the  three	 values are separated by commas.  The action attribute
       has one value: incr incr incr incr incr full incr.  Note that this is a
       single value - it just happens to have spaces separating its words.

		       type: NSR schedule;
		     action: incr incr incr incr incr full incr;
	      administrator: &engineering, root, operator;
		       name: engineering servers;
		   override: ;
		     period: Week;

SPECIAL ATTRIBUTES
       Each  NetWorker resource includes seven special attributes: type, name,
       administrator, hostname, ONC program number, ONC	 version  number,  and
       ONC  transport.	The type and name attributes are normally visible, but
       the others attributes are hidden.  That an attribute  is	 hidden	 indi‐
       cates  that  it	is  infrequently  used	and  perhaps esoteric.	Hidden
       attributes should usually not be changed by the user.

       The type attribute defines which other attributes a resource  can  con‐
       tain.  For example, a resource with type NSR client will always include
       the attribute server, while a resource of type NSR schedule does not.

       The name attribute is a descriptive name of the object that a  resource
       represents.  In the first example above, the name attribute is the name
       of the NetWorker client machine.	  In  the  second  example,  the  name
       attribute  describes  a schedule used to back up the the servers in the
       engineering department.

       The administrator attribute is the list of users that  have  permission
       to  modify  or  delete this resource.  This attribute is inherited from
       the type: NSR resource when a new resource is created.  The administra‐
       tor  of the NSR resource also controls who has permission to create and
       delete NetWorker resources.

       The hostname attribute specifies the hostname of the machine  on	 which
       the  service  that controls this resource is running. It is used inter‐
       nally and cannot be changed by the administrator.

       The remaining attributes (ONC program number, ONC version  number,  and
       ONC  transport) specify the Open Network Computing information for this
       service.	 They should never be changed manually.

       In some cases, the resource identifier will be  visible.	  Although  it
       may  look  like	an  attribute, it is an internal value that is set and
       used by the NetWorker system to provide unique identification  of  each
       resource.  When new resources are created in the edit command of nsrad‐
       min(8), the resource identifier attribute should	 be  left  off.	  This
       signals	that  this  is	a  new	resource  and a new identifier will be
       assigned.

       NetWorker resources are	implemented  by	 the  Resource	Administration
       Platform, which is described in the resource(5) manual page. This flex‐
       ible architecture means that in	future	releases  of  NetWorker,  more
       resource types or attributes may be added, and the administration tools
       in this release will automatically be able to use them.	To  make  this
       possible,  each	server	provides type descriptors that are used inter‐
       nally to describe the attributes of each type, between the  administra‐
       tion  tools and the services.  These type descriptors may cause limita‐
       tion on the values, such as only allowing a single value,  allowing  no
       value, or only numeric values.

RESOURCE TYPES
       This release of NetWorker defines the following types of resources:

       NSR    This   resource  describes  a  NetWorker	server.	  It  contains
	      attributes that control administrator authorization, information
	      about  operations in progress, and statistics and error informa‐
	      tion about  past	operations.   For  more	 information  see  the
	      nsr_service(5) manual page.

       NSR client
	      This   resource  describes  a  NetWorker	client.	  It  includes
	      attributes that specify the files to  save,  which  schedule  to
	      use,  and which group this client belongs to.  There may be more
	      than one client resource for a NetWorker client.	This allows  a
	      client  to save files on different schedules.  For more informa‐
	      tion see the nsr_client(5) manual page.

       NSR device
	      This resource type describes  a  storage	device.	  It  includes
	      attributes  that	specify a particular device name (for example,
	      /dev/nrst1), media type (for example, 8mm), and the name of  the
	      currently	 mounted  volume.  It also provides status and statis‐
	      tics on current and past operations.  For more  information  see
	      the nsr_device(5) manual page.

       NSR directive
	      This  resource  describes a directive.  Directives control how a
	      client's files are processed as they are being saved.  For  more
	      information  see the nsr_directive(5), nsr(5) and uasm(8) manual
	      pages.

       NSR group
	      This resource specifies a logical grouping of NetWorker  clients
	      and  a starting time.  Each day, at the specified time, all mem‐
	      bers of the group will start their saves.	 For more  information
	      see the nsr_group(5) manual page.

       NSR jukebox
	      This  resource type describes a jukebox.	It includes attributes
	      such as the jukebox model, the first and last  slot  numbers  in
	      the  jukebox,  and  the names of the devices within the jukebox.
	      For more information see the nsr_jukebox(5) manual page.

       NSR label
	      This resource type specifies a template describing a sequence of
	      names to be used when labeling volumes. For more information see
	      the nsr_label(5) manual page.

       NSR license
	      This resource contains licensing information  for	 each  feature
	      currently	 enabled  in this NetWorker installation.  It contains
	      various enabler and authorization codes that are	used  by  Net‐
	      Worker  to validate licensed capabilities.  For more information
	      see the nsr_license(5) and nsrcap(8) manual pages.

       NSR notification
	      A notification specifies an action to be performed when  a  par‐
	      ticular  type of NetWorker event takes place.  For more informa‐
	      tion see the nsr_notification(5) manual page.

       NSR policy
	      Policy resources are  used  as  part  of	the  index  management
	      process  in  NetWorker.  These policies control how long entries
	      remain in a client's on-line file index and when to mark a  save
	      set  as  recyclable.  For more information see the nsr_policy(5)
	      manual page.

       NSR pool
	      This resource type is used by NetWorker to determine  what  vol‐
	      umes  save sets should reside on based on the characteristics of
	      the save (for example, group or level).	For  more  information
	      see the nsr_pool(5) manual page.

       NSR schedule
	      Schedule resources define a sequence of save levels and an over‐
	      ride list.  The override list is made up of pairs of levels  and
	      dates.   The  level  controls  the  amount  of data saved when a
	      client is backed up.  For more information  see  the  nsr_sched‐
	      ule(5) manual page.

       NSR stage
	      Each  stage  resource  describes a staging policy.  The resource
	      includes attributes that define control parameters for the  pol‐
	      icy,  and	 devices managed by  the policy.  For more information
	      see the nsr_stage(5) manual page.

FILES
       /nsr/res/nsrdb	   Holds the NetWorker server's resources.   Files  in
			   this directory should never be edited directly. Use
			   nsradmin(8)	 or   NetWorker	  Management   Console
			   instead.
