NAME
       nwinstcreate - Create a file containing NetWorker instance information

SYNOPSIS
       nwinstcreate [ -i ] [ -x ] [ -f output-file ] [ -n NetWorker-instance-
		    name ] [ -d NetWorker-instance-ID ] [ -p private-key-file
		    [ -c certificate-file ] ]

DESCRIPTION
       The  nwinstcreate command is used to create NetWorker instance informa‐
       tion.  This data is essential for using GSS EMC v1 authentication.   In
       most cases, the user should let NetWorker create this information.  The
       nwinstcreate program can be used to override the NetWorker defaults  in
       the few cases where it is necessary.

       The  NetWorker  instance	 information  includes	the NetWorker instance
       name, NetWorker instance ID, private key, and certificate.  This infor‐
       mation will be used on every NetWorker server, client and storage node.
       The NetWorker instance ID is the identity of the instance of NetWorker.
       The  NetWorker  instance name is a shorthand for the NetWorker instance
       ID and will be what you enter in various	 access	 control  lists.   The
       private	key  and certificate are used to verify the identity of a Net‐
       Worker instance.

       It is best to run nwinstcreate before starting NetWorker for the	 first
       time.   Then  if	 the default output-file name was used, then NetWorker
       will pick up the information from the file without any  further	action
       from  the  user.	 Otherwise, the user must import the information after
       running nwinstcreate (see nsr_la(5) ).

OPTIONS
       -i     Use interactive mode.  The user will be asked to provide	infor‐
	      mation  for non-expert mode items whose values are not specified
	      on the command line.  The non-expert  mode  items	 include:  the
	      NetWorker	 instance  name	 (which	 can  be  specified via the -n
	      option), and the output file name (which can  be	specified  via
	      the -f option).

       -x     Use  expert  mode.  Use with caution.  The user will be asked to
	      provide information on the expert mode items as well as the non-
	      expert  mode items whose values are not specified on the command
	      line.  The expert mode items  are:  the  NetWorker  instance  ID
	      (which can be specified via the -d option), the private key file
	      (which can be specified via the -p option), and the  certificate
	      file (which can be specified via the -c option).

       -f output-file
	      Specify  the  file  in  which the NetWorker instance information
	      should be stored.	 The default value is the  file:  IDinitialize
	      and  it  will  be	 created in the /nsr/res directory (or the res
	      directory under the base NetWorker  install  directory  in  Win‐
	      dows).   If  the default file name is used and the file was cre‐
	      ated before NetWorker was first started up, then NetWorker  will
	      automatically  import  in	 the  information  from	 this file and
	      delete the file.

       -n NetWorker-instance-name
	      Specify the NetWorker instance name that should be used for  the
	      NetWorker	 installation.	 This name is a shorthand for the Net‐
	      Worker instance ID.  The NetWorker instance name	is  the	 value
	      that  should be entered in access control lists if one wishes to
	      limit access to users who are using GSS  EMC  v1	authentication
	      and  are	from  a	 certain instance of NetWorker.	 The NetWorker
	      instance name should be unique through out the data zone.

       -d NetWorker-instance-ID
	      Specify the NetWorker instance ID that should be	used  for  the
	      NetWorker	 installation.	 This  ID  will identify the NetWorker
	      installation.  It will be used whenever two  NetWorker  programs
	      want to talk to each other.  It should be unique through out the
	      data zone.  It is highly recommended  to	let  NetWorker	choose
	      this  value  unless  there  is  a reason that the default is not
	      valid.

       -p private-key-file
	      Specify a file containing the private key that will be  used  by
	      the  NetWorker instance.	The file is expected to be in PEM for‐
	      mat.

       -c certificate-file
	      Specify a file containing the certificate that will be  used  by
	      the  NetWorker instance.	The certificate must correspond to the
	      private key given with the -p option.  That is, the  certificate
	      must  contain  the  public  key which corresponds to the private
	      key.  The file is expected to be in PEM format.  The  -c	option
	      is not allowed if the -p option is not also given.

DIAGNOSTICS
       The following exit status values are meaningful:

       0      The program exited normally.

       1      There  was  a usage or other error when attempting to create the
	      output file.

       10     There was a problem with the command line arguments.
