bpsetconfig

I am trying to use bpsetconfig and always get a message that says "unimplemented feature". Any idea what causes this?
Servver version 6.5.3.4

We are a new shop for Netbackup and are converting from TSM.

/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd/bpsetconfig -i vzdtsm02_domain -h vzdtsm02.xxx.xx.xx-c vzdtsm02

unimplemented feature

7.1.x and Earlier

    DOCUMENTATION: A method for centrally managing exclude and include list for UNIX and Linux clients under NetBackup 6.5.3.

    e.g.


    bpsetconfig -i <filename> -h <client> [-c <policy> [-s <schedule>]]
     
    Writes the file <filename> to /usr/openv/netbackup/include_list  on the client <client> (the additional qualifiers <policy> and <schedule> allow the files include_list.<policy> and include_list.<policy>.<schedule> to be written to the client).

    ***EDIT***

    So from the OP:

    bpsetconfig -i vzdtsm02_domain -h vzdtsm02.xxx.xx.xx -c vzdtsm02

    trying to create include list of /usr/openv/netbackup/include_list.vzdtsm02 on client vzdtsm02.xxx.xx.xx using the file vzdtsm02_domain  ??

    As a matter of interest, what version of NB  (6.5.3.4 incorrect ;) )

    Seems like sdw303 is getting the same on his 6.5.3.1 also. Only get an "unimplemented" error with a typo when I try on 6.5.4, but having said that I can't get the thing to work anyway as I mentioned earlier! Looks like they're releasing it in stages ( :D ) so maybe we'll get a fully functional version in 6.5.5 or maybe 7.0 !!

    ***EDIT***

    Have got it to work on 6.5.4 now (both bpset & bpgetconfig) but only with clients at 6.5.4 (Master also). If I use any other client version you get the "unimplemented feature" error. So maybe the T/N we've been looking at for 6.5.3 was published incorrectly - or maybe bpset/getconfig commands were deprecated with 6.5.3.1. ?????

    Think we need someone from Symantec to chip in here & clarify the situation!

    I see on the first client I tried on was 6.5 and a client that I got the command to work on is 6.5.3.1. So it looks like the client has to be on at least that level for the commands to work.

    When you set your includes/excludes on the client is it necessary to have a backup selections on the policy?

    Andy, yes it looks like it works, you just can't have a downlevel client.

    when you set up the includes/excludes initially, but I would imagine your backup would be very short (0 bytes) if there was nothing in the backup selection list!

    Bearing in mind, the exclude_list excludes anything from the backup selection & the include_list includes anything previously excluded.

    I am now trying to retrieve a file using bpgetconfig and don't know why I keep getting  "file read failed"
    bpgetconfig -i /home/rjohns/vzdtsm01_includes  vzdtsm01.serv.xx.xx.xxx -c vzdtsm02

    An empty file will be created. On the server that the file is being retrieved from the permissions should allow a read
