nbdna against a list of clients

[SARA_8]

I'm using NetBackup 7.01 and  usually encounter backup failures related to network. I'm trying to use nbdna command but I have more than 1000 clients in my NetBackup.I read the manual but couldnot find how can I run nbdna against only a list of clients ?

I read the manual but couldnot find

Master server : AIX 6.1

media : AIX 6.1 & RedHat 6.1

clients: Windows, AIX & Linux

cat myclient.txt

sv0991

sv0933

sv0112

sv0223

......

Many Thanks

You want to use the -f=filename command line switch:

DOCUMENTATION and DOWNLOAD: How to use Symantec's NetBackup Domain Network Analyzer (NBDNA) version 2.1 and BPTESTNETCONN.
 http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH125454

Example 3

In this example, nbdna is run with verbose output and importing hostname list with -f and -overwritelist switch:

# /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/support/nbdna -verbose -f=hostnames.txt -overwritelist

File format example:

SERVER dellpe2400

CLIENT 10.12.249.20

LOOKUP 10.82.108.136

So you'll need to prepend all your client entries in myclient.txt with the word CLIENT, I think.

Good luck!

You can generate a list of clients using:

bpplclients -allunique -l
