DESCRIPTION
The
bpclntcmd
command tests the functionality of a NetBackup system and displays information about it. It also enables and disables the Fibre Transport services on a NetBackup client.
OPTIONS
- -check_vxss
-
Checks if NBAC is configured correctly on the local system.
- -check_vxss_with_host hostname
-
Checks if NBAC is configured correctly on the local system to connect to the remote host
hostname.
- -clear_host_cache
-
NetBackup caches host name to IP address mappings to minimize DNS lookups. Each NetBackup process typically has its own in-memory cache and all the processes also share a cache stored on the file system. This option removes all the entries in the shared cache on the file system.
If host names/IP addresses have recently been updated on DNS or other host lookup services, the NetBackup caches may be out of sync for up to an hour. To ensure that NetBackup is in sync with host name changes, you can do the following: Stop NetBackup, run
bpclntcmd -clear_host_cache, then restart NetBackup.
- -gethostname
-
Returns the host name that NetBackup uses on the local system.
- -get_local_client_patch_version
-
Returns the version of the local client patch software.
- -get_local_server_patch_version
-
Returns the version of the local server patch software.
- -get_pbx_port hostname
-
Displays the number that
hostname
considers the PBX port number. If
hostname
is not specified, the option displays the number that the local host considers the PBX port number.
- -get_remote_host_version hostname
-
Returns the version of NetBackup that is running on the system that is identified in the
hostname
variable.
- -hn hostname
-
Returns the host name, alias, and IP address information about the host name that is identified in the
hostname
variable.
- -ip ip_address
-
Returns the host name, alias, and IP address information about IP address,
ip_address.
- -is_emm_server hostname
-
Checks if
hostname
is operating as the EMM server on the local system.
- -is_local_host hostname
-
Checks if
hostname
is a network interface on the local system.
- -is_master_server hostname
-
Checks if
hostname
is the master server on the local system.
- -is_media_server hostname
-
Checks if
hostname
is a media server on the local system.
- -is_server hostname
-
Checks if
hostname
is a master server or a media server on the local system.
- -pn
-
Returns what the master server considers your host name (or peer name) to be.
- -reverse_name_lookup [allowed | restricted | prohibited]
-
Determines if NetBackup can use the reverse name lookup of the host name-IP. Use of this function can be allowed, prohibited, or restricted.
- -sanclient [ 0 | 1 ]
-
0 - Disables the client Fibre Transport (FT) service. The command returns a NetBackup SAN client to normal client functionality.
1 - Enables the client FT service, which effectively turns a regular NetBackup client into a SAN client.
- -self
-
Returns the information about the local system.
- -server NBU_master
-
Returns the host name information of the NetBackup master server.
- -sv
-
Returns the NetBackup version of the master server.
