NBU 5.1 no MP, running on Solaris 2.8 Master
We have a home grown script that we use to track the archvie jobs that used to run before, but fails with "no entity was found" errror. Here's the snippet of the script
#!/bin/sh
#### Inputs required 1. start date 2. end date 3. client name and 4. backup type
bpimagelist -U -d $1 -e $2 -client $3 -sl $4 -idonly |awk '{print $8}' >imagelist
for i in `cat imagelist|sort`
do
echo
echo Backup ID: $i
bpimagelist -U -backupid $i
#echo ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
echo List of tapes that contain Image $i
echo Primary Copy:
bpimagelist -l -backupid $i |grep "FRAG 1" |awk '{print $9;}'|sort -u
echo ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
echo Duplicate Copy:
bpimagelist -l -backupid $i |grep "FRAG 2" |awk '{print $9;}'|sort -u
echo ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
echo Top Level Directory list in this Image
bpflist -U -d $1 -client $3 -backupid $i -option ONLY_DIRS|sed 's/.*P=\(.*\)\ D=.*/\1/;'|egrep '^\/'|sed 1q
echo ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
done
##end of script
The bpflist command used to list out the directory path of the archvie, but now it just spits out "no entity was found". Even if we just run bpflist -client clientname -d date gives the same error. In fact running bpflist with any options gives the same error. This script used to work fine in 4.5, not sure if it worked ever after we upgraded to 5.1
TIA

Do you get output from the following command run on the master:
../netbackup/bin/admincmd/bpclient -client -L
I assume you got the no entity was found error?
Then you might need to add the Client name(s) to the Client Attributes list on the master:
Open the netbackup Admin console on the master server and go to the properties for the master server.
Add the client(s) to the "Client Attributes" list
You may still need to tweak the settings in here. Sounds like a network/port issue.
My focus would be on network config within Netbackup. I think VNETD was introduced in v5. Maybe create a directory ../netbackup/logs/vnetd and see what the logs show up.

Sto,
I looked into it on my 5.1 server and I had the same problem, but I noticed that it works on some images like STANDARD type, but not on ARCHIVE type.
Aanyhow I tried a few variations and came up with this short script to check.if it works on your system, I also modified your script so you wont have to type so much.

Suart,
Thanks for replying. Yes, we got the same "no entity was found" error when we ran
bclient -client -L
So based on your suggestion, we added the client name to Client Attributes list on the Master and also created the vnetd dir under logs and restarted the entire netbackup services. Now bpclient -client -L produces an output see below (client name has been masked)
#bpclient -client xxxxxxx -L
Client Name: xxxxxxx
Current Host:
Hostname: xxxxxxx
IP Address: 0.0.0.0
Connect on non-reserved port: no

WOFB Enabled: yes
WOFB FIM: VSP
WOFB Usage: Individual Drive Snapshot
WOFB Error Control: Abort on Error
Nothing is logged yet in the vnetd directory and we still get "no entity was found" when we run bpflist for MOST of the jobs. So it works for some jobs but not for all jobs. Why?
See example below, first one it finds /E/ as the directory it backed up, the next one its "no entity was found"

James,
Thanks for helping me with the script. As I mentioned in the previous post, and as you noticed, it works for some backup jobs but not for all.
Here's an example of where the 2nd script of your worked

Enter a client to search:
xxxxxx
Are you sure you want to search this client?

Hi,
Anyone has a solution for this issue? If not what's the best way to list the full path or directories that was archived.
TIA

Sometimes it is better to step back and look at the individual command. Can you get bpflist to work as a CLI outside of any scripts? Perhaps there is a slight syntax change in the command. Try various clients. Beware of case sensitivity. Try enabling the debug logs bpdbm and bprd.
I know this is just basic suggestions, but like I said, perhaps you should take a step back to investigate. I wish you well.

I aggree with Bob!
Sto you need to experiment a bit.
As patches are applied and versions change, then so do the commands within the application.
You wont break anything.

I finally found the solution to the problem. I had to add the recursion level flag -rl 10 to get it to work.
So this line works fine
bpflist -U -d $1 -client $3 -backupid $i -rl 10 |sed 's/.*P=\(.*\)\ D=.*/\1/;'|egrep '^\/'|sed 1q
Thanks to all.
