How to easily check the clients versions from the netbackup server

[tif_support]

Hi,

I am looking for a simple command to check from the server, the netbackup version of each clients backed up by this server.

Any idea?

Thanks

If you have the GUI

and you have the version column showing,

with in Host properties  - clients

do an export of the list (under file)

it will then go get the properties of each client and put it into the report.

takes a while to do it but you end up with a text file of the names and the version installed.

You could also script it using bpgetconfig to glean the required info:

e.g.

# bpgetconfig -s <client> -A -L
Client/Master = Client of master

NetBackup Client Platform = Solaris, Solaris7
NetBackup Client Protocol Level = 5.1.0.0.4.6
Product = NetBackup
Version Name = 5.1
Version Number = 510000
NetBackup Installation Path = /usr/openv/netbackup/bin
Client OS/Release = SunOS 5.7
Cipher =
Patch Level = 5.1MP6

But we're very close

PS: it'll probably be a bit slow via the CLI too - it still has to interrogate the client over the n/w same as with the GUI.

if you right click on the clients and select connect rather than properties its a lot quicker
