Client command equivalent to bpimagelist.

[ch0t0rsy]

Is there a client command equivalent to bpimagelist?  The OS admin wants to be able to issue a command from the client server and know the moment the backup image has completed its' duplication to the remote site.

Example:  A test server in the remote location needs to be refreshed with a DB from the Prod server that backups up locally.  Instead of waiting for a NBU admin to tell them the replication completed, they want to do the command themselves.

/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/bpimagelist –client (client name) –hoursago 24 –stl_complete

The closest command to bpimagelist on the client side would be bpclimagelist, but it does not allow to query SLP duplications.

bpclimagelist: unrecognized option -?
USAGE: bpclimagelist [-U | -Likelydate] [-Listseconds]
      [-client clientname] [-server servername] [-BE]
      [-t FULL | INCR | CINC | UBAK |  UARC | ANY | NOT_ARCHIVE]
      [-policy policy_name] [-keyword "keyword phrase"] [-ct client_type]
      [-s mm/dd/yyyy HH:MM:SS] [-e mm/dd/yyyy HH:MM:SS]

You might want to try Nicolai's workaround of placing the client server that is supposed to run the command in the NetBackup Master Server's > Host Properties > Servers list.

Then they can run the command from the client server. (please note that this client will then be able to run all commands relating to NetBackup......)

Up to you :)

A smple client (Client only) can not run any command to check the satus of the duplication as in the duplication process , client is not involved . So there is nothing on client you can inquire so no client side command available.Yes you can install remote admin console on the client and that will  provide the ability to run admin command from the clietn as well .
