    I do not have an active NBU installation to test myself.
    Please 'play' with samples found in this forum. 

    If you run the 1st part of above command : bppllist -L -allpolicies  | egrep "^Policy Name: |^Active:" 
    You should see something like this:  (I have used nbsu bppllist output from a customer)

    Policy Name: ADHOC_UNIX
    Active: no
    Policy Name: ADHOC_WINTEL
    Active: yes
    Policy Name: XXX_CATALOG
    Active: yes
    Policy Name: LINUX_DEV
    Active: yes

    If you then add 
     |^Client/HW
    to the 'egrep' section, you will see the client names as well. 
    Adding 
    | grep -v no
    will exclude all inactive policies. 

    Yes, the output will look 'messy', but you can use your scripting skills to tidy up the output. 

    I have managed to do the following with output of bppllist -L -allpolicies > NBU_bppllist.txt :

    cat NBU_bppllist.txt |egrep "^Policy Name: |^Active: |^Client/HW" |grep -v no >active.txt
    cat active.txt |grep Client |awk '{print $2}'|sort -u

I see that you have found this post: 

https://vox.veritas.com/t5/NetBackup/How-to-List-All-Active-Clients-on-a-linux-master-server/m-p/642716

There is problem with display in this forum that changes a ':' followed by a '|' into a smiley face: :|  

So, when I insert a space between the 2 (after Policy Name), it looks like this : 
bppllist -L -allpolicies  | egrep "^Policy Name: |^Active:" | paste - - | awk '$NF~yes { print $3 }' | xargs -i bpplclients {} -noheader 2> /dev/null | awk '{ print $3 }'

Please try again.

    Hi marianne,

     

    This is giving no output:

     

    [root@bkpma01 admincmd]#  ./bppllist -L -allpolicies  | egrep "^Policy Name: |^Active:" | paste - - | awk '$NF~yes { print $3 }' | xargs -i bpplclients {} -noheader 2> /dev/null | awk '{ print $3 }'
    [root@bkpma01 admincmd]#
