is bpadm removed from NBU 7.7.1?
Just setup a new NBU domain using v7.7.1 and couldn't find bpadm anywhere. Is it no longer supported on v7.7.1? What is the new replacement?
Thanks!

"... Two commands that operated only on UNIX systems have been removed and replaced with the NetBackup Administration Console: bpadm and vmadm.

The vmadm utility presented a menu of operations from any terminal."
This sucks for us who must manage remotely as the java console will have to be displayed thru X tunneled ssh thru WAN with 150-200ms latency :(
Yes, bpadm and vmadm are no longer present in v7.7 onwards. There is no replacement. For v7.7 onwards the only "admin interface" is the Java GUI.

Bummer, I used those tools a lot. Now have to run discreet commands to modify policies, storage units, etc. via CLI.
Oh well.
