bpexpdate script
Master Server is Solaris NBU 7.1.03
Media Server is Red Hat Linux
Data Domain DD690
I have a script that I am using but I have to answer yes to "Are you SURE you want to delete clientname y/n (n)? all the time.
Heres what I've done:
>./bpimagelist -idonly -d 01/01/2009 -e 12/31/2009 | cut -d ' ' -f10 > 2009imagelist.txt
>vi delimages.sh
#!/bin/sh
for i in `cat $1`
do
echo $i
/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd/bpexpdate -backupid $i -d 0
echo 'y'
done
>./bpimagelist.sh 2009imagelist.txt
How do I amend my script so that I don't have to answer yes manually as it goes through my 2009imagelist.txt
P.S. I'm trying to free up some much needed disk space on my Data Domain because I'm hitting the high water mark each week. Also, when I'm done running the script on the 2009imagelist.txt do I have to perform an addtional step in order to see that more free space has been restored to my data domain.
do i need to run these commands? ./bpexpdate -deassignempty -force or ./nbdelete -allvolumes or ./bpimage -cleanup -allclients
Thanks in advance for your expert help!
/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd/bpexpdate -backupid $i -d 0 -force
