connectivity test command from client to master
Trying to find a coomand to test connectivity from netbackup client to master server other telent to ports 13782,13724.
Tried to test using bptestnetconn but unable to determine if the output is correct or not as i am getting same result when the services are either in stopped or started state.
bptestnetconn -v -c -t 10 -o 5 -P -s -H <master server>
Master server: NB version is 8.1
Client server : NB version 7.7.2
Need synatx for both windows adn linux clients
From what you have replied - you are looking for a way to determine if the client is ready to run NetBackup from the client.
You have identified that the bptestbpcd command will do this for you, but this only runs from a NBU server (master or media). I also agree it would be nice to have this command available on a standard client.
I think what you want to do from the client is to run a remote command from the client to the master and then run the bptestbpcd command back to the client.
For Unix, this is relatively simply using SSH. For Windows it becomes more of a challenge, but not insurmountable. So I think what you want to do from the client is something along the lines of the follwoing psuedo code:
# remote shell to master
# bptestbpcd -client <client> [-verbose]
# analyse output
