    Try this (no guarantees & don't ask me to explain it!) using Mariannes SLP as an example:

     

    bppllist -allpolicies -U | egrep "Policy Name|AIR_DISC_2_APP" | awk '/Residence.*AIR_DISC_2_APP/{print x};{x=$3}'

     

    (& that is for a similar requirement from a previous post by a much more seasoned script writer - cheers Martin, I kept it and deciphered it for posterity & possible future use - now I just hope it works!)

    I am trying to get access to our in-house lab server to test, but our hardware guys are in the process of moving all demo/lab equipment...

    It would be something like:

    bppllist -allpolicies -U | egrep "Policy Name|<SLP-NAME>"

    It's sort-of working.

    On demo Appliance, we have 4 policies and 2 SLPs.

    3 Policies use one specific SLP - AIR_DISC_2_APP.

    Unfortunately my command lists all policies, but the policy that does not have this SLP does have any SLP listed underneath it. (The one have marked in Italics...)

    This was my command and output:

     bppllist -allpolicies -U | egrep "Policy Name|AIR_DISC_2_APP"
    Policy Name:       DiscMaster_FS
      Residence:           AIR_DISC_2_APP
    Policy Name:       DiskMaster_Catalog
    Policy Name:       Softserv_VM
      Residence:           AIR_DISC_2_APP
    Policy Name:       VMLABEV_DR
      Residence:           AIR_DISC_2_APP

     

    Bottom line - you can only do it by means of scripting.
    A more 'seasoned' script writer may be able to help here...

    There is no single NBU command to list policies used by a specific SLP.

    Andy to the rescue!!!

    It works perfectly - only the 3 policies using the SLP are listed:

    # bppllist -allpolicies -U | egrep "Policy Name|AIR_DISC_2_APP" | awk '/Residence.*AIR_DISC_2_APP/{print x};{x=$3}'

    DiscMaster_FS
    Softserv_VM
    VMLABEV_DR

    Hi,

    When I am running this in a loop to chk for multiple SLPs,its showing nothing. Am I doing anything wrong here:

     

    $ for i in `cat /tmp/slp`;do sudo bppllist -allpolicies -U | egrep "Policy Name|$i"| awk '/Residence.*$i/{print x};{x=$3}';done
    $
