Dumping the list of backupids in an MSDP

Sometimes it's handy knowing what is currently living inside a dedup pool, such as when you're waiting to decom appliance prior to moving it to another domain. It can be a little difficult getting this information out of NetBackup though if your SLPs move the images around to multiple destinations (and other STUs don't move it at all).

So I present a one-liner to list everything on the local MSDP :

myappliancename:~ # /usr/openv/pdde/pdcr/bin/catdbutil --list --status ANY | awk -F'|' '{print $3}'  |awk -F_ '{print $1"_"$2}' | grep "_14" | sort -u

 

I recommend redirecting into a file to avoid screen spam. Enjoy. =)
