VxSS - available_media.cmd produces header but no content

Recently installed Authentication & Authorization Svcs for NetBackup 6.5.2.  Can give remote console access to Operations.  However, when I run command "available_media.cmd", I get header information...

    All that script does is run a bunch of other NetBackup commands, so you need to be authorized to run 'em.  When you enable VxSS, you have to look "OK" to VxSS.

    I believe you need to successfully execute a `bpnbat -login` but my memory is pretty fuzzy on the 6.5.2 implementation of VxSS.

    After it succeeds (I will be optomistic that I have given the correct advice here wink), use `bpnbat -whoami` to learn more about your credential.

     

    bpnbat should be in the "bin" directory.

    Good luck!

Thanks Chris.  I just tried doing the "bpnbat -login".  This prompted me for the authentication broker, port number, authentication type, domain, login name and password.  Once completed, I did "cd" to "goodies" dir and ran "available_media.cmd".  The report populated as expected.

Do you know if these responses can be scripted?  I have a script that runs the "available_media.cmd" and emails out the report.  Since implementing VxSS, I am now doing this manually.

I'll do some checking myself and will post here if I find anything.

Thanks!
