Automate retire clients
Hi we are trying to automate retire clients from Avamar and need so guidance
Is there any best way to see where the client exsists in Avamar
EX:
mccli client show --name= /clients/myclient
instead of this any syntax to see where this client sits(which domain its in ) and pull that information and then run
mccli client retire --name=String and --expiration(How can we pick standard retain local backups with existing expiration dated ) like we do in GUI
Any guidance will help me a lot.
Thanks a lot for you help

You can use
mccli client show --domain=/ --recursive=true
which will list all clients in all Domains. It will also list the Domain for each client. You can also include the --verbose=true and it will list other details including activation and check-in dates (similar to the GUI List Policy -> Clients)
To retire a client keeping the existing expiration dates, leave out the --expiration parameter. I just tried this on an old client using just domain and name and it worked.
Have you considered using Avamar Client Manager? (https://[your-avamar-server]/aam). You need to log in as MCUser

On Avamar you could add your linux-user's SSH key to:
/home/admin/.ssh/authorized_keys

Please keep in mind that making changes to the SSH keys and configuration is not supported. If you have to contact support for any reason, they may require you to revert these changes.
If you want a supported mechanism for running MCCLI, there is an MCCLI installer package designed to be installed on an external RHEL or SLES system. This is the recommended approach.
