Easiest Way to Get Client Version Number

[rsamora]

I can go to Host Properties\Clients and double click on a client and when the connection is made, I see the version number in the GUI.  I can also export the list but that causes a rescan and gives me about 20 pages of information when I only need the version number.  If I could cut and paste the GUI, that would work too.  But of all of the screens in NetBackup, the client properties screen seems to be the only one I can't cut and paste.

Any suggestions?

Thanks
Randy

Good for a number of things (inc. exclude lists) but in the form bpgetconfig -s <client> -L -A gives output in the form:

Client/Master = Master
NetBackup Client Platform = Solaris, Solaris9
NetBackup Client Protocol Level = 6.5.0
Product = NetBackup
Version Name = 6.5
Version Number = 650000
NetBackup Installation Path = /usr/openv/netbackup/bin
Client OS/Release = SunOS 5.9
Cipher =
Patch Level = 6.5.1

or

Client/Master = Client of <master>
NetBackup Client Platform = PC, WindowsNT
NetBackup Client Protocol Level = 5.1.0.0.4.6
Product = NetBackup
Version Name = 5.1
Version Number = 510000
NetBackup Installation Path = C:\Program Files\VERITAS\NetBackup\bin
Client OS/Release = Windows2000 5
Cipher =
Patch Level = 5.1MP6

The bpgetconfig worked great.  I went with

bpgetconfig -M <client name> VERSIONINFO CLIENT_NAME

and that gave me what I needed which was just the client name and version number.

Thanks Andy!!
