How to check netbackup client version

that's right, on unix master, create a script, that'll get all netbackup client version for you. Thanks.

Been wanting to find this also, but as a previous post also asked Client version and also Maintenance Pack level was needed.

Running this from a UNIX master on the command line, output is pretty crude.

for i in `bppllist -l -allpolicies | grep CLIENT | awk '{print $2}' | sort -u`

> done

Check for Version and Patch as some Patch information maybe blank as the version is as the base level.

This is much quicker responding than the Netbackup Admin Console Gui > Host Properties > Clients > (select all) Connect

The above command could give

barney
NetBackup Client Platform = ALPHA, OSF1_V5
Version Name = 6.0
Version Number = 600000
Patch Level = 6.0MP3
fred
NetBackup Client Platform = 68K, Amiga
Version Name = 3.4GA
Version Number = 600000
Patch Level = 3.4_MP12
wilma
NetBackup Client Platform = HP-UX-IA64, HP-UX11.23
Version Name = 6.0
Version Number = 600000
Patch Level = 6.0MP4

Not pretty but workable, also maybe modify the bpgetconfig qualifier to either -U or -l
