command to list active backup and client name

Hi ericcruz_telus 

This topic has been asked and answered previously. A quick google search would have provided you with lots of solutions that have been asked here over the years.

The command to use is bppllist and you will need to filter the output. There is no simple solution.

Here is one simple shell command that will display what you are after (maybe not in the form you want)

for p in `bppllist -U -verbose -allpolicies | egrep '^Policy Name|Active' | awk '/Active.*yes/{print x};{x=$3}'`; do
   bppllist $p | egrep '^CLASS|^CLIENT' | awk '{ print $1, $2 }' | sed 's/^CLASS/POLICY/'
done

The output of this will be a list something like (active policies with the clients from each policy): 

POLICY Policy1
CLIENT client1
CLIENT client2
POLICY Policy2 
CLIENT client3
....

Note that the output from intelligent policies (VMware, SQL & Oracle) may not show what you expect.

The basis for that command came form the following post https://vox.veritas.com/t5/NetBackup/Command-line-to-find-all-clients-with-active-policies/td-p/651483

Ah...!!! This is a good post!

I was wondering about the following:

How to check to see if a policy is a VM Query and not a client list?

Best way to dump the list of VM Query hosts out of a bppllist if the only known client is MEDIA_SERVER?

ericcruz_telus brings up a very good topic that I wish I had a really clean way to do that but as davidmoline  stated above, there's no clean/easy way to do just this.

Maybe this post needs to be in a thread all its own, but it is directly related to the OP's curiosity. :)
