    Hello,

    several notes:

    - you should run this command connected to appliance as NetBackup Appliance CLI Administrator. have you run this so? Refer to Appliance Admin Guide how to create CLI user.

    - you must run it with -new_policy or -update_policy, you are missing both. Also this parameter should be enough, the other parameters like OS will figure out the appliance instead of you

    - dont place MSDP Catalog backup to MSDP, direct it to another storage unit

    Regards

    Michal

    Hello Michal,

    - you should run this command connected to appliance as NetBackup Appliance CLI Administrator. have you run this so? Refer to Appliance Admin Guide how to create CLI user.

    We do have the CLI access to the appliance as root privilege.

    - you must run it with -new_policy or -update_policy, you are missing both. Also this parameter should be enough, the other parameters like OS will figure out the appliance instead of you

    We will try this and update the soonest

    - dont place MSDP Catalog backup to MSDP, direct it to another storage unit

    As per testing purposes, we will put it to Advance Disk pool. Later, if this is successful, we will point it to appropiate SLP.

    Thank you

    Hopefuly this will help others
