Dumping the list of backupids in an MSDP
Sometimes it's handy knowing what is currently living inside a dedup pool, such as when you're waiting to decom appliance prior to moving it to another domain. It can be a little difficult getting this information out of NetBackup though if your SLPs move the images around to multiple destinations (and other STUs don't move it at all). So I present a one-liner to list everything on the local MSDP : myappliancename:~ # /usr/openv/pdde/pdcr/bin/catdbutil --list --status ANY | awk -F'|' '{print $3}' |awk -F_ '{print $1"_"$2}' | grep "_14" | sort -u I recommend redirecting into a file to avoid screen spam. Enjoy. =)
NetBackup Vault Reports
We upgraded our 5220 from 2.5.4 to 2.6.0.3 and we no longer get any Vault Reports. NOT Enterprise Vault, just the normal vault that comes with NBU. Anyone else run into this undocumented feature? Vault still runs and it still ejects tapes, we just no longer get any reports emailed to us. We still get other emails like from the Catalog backup.
Actual amount of Data transferred using SLP & AIR
I'm trying to find an easy way to report on the actual amount of data being transferred from one Netbackup 5220 appliance to another 5220 appliance using SLP & AIR. Both appliances are running 7.6.0.2. I wrote a script to lookfor the "CR sent" fieldin the /usr/openv/netbackup/db/jobs/trylogs/directory but as we implement Targeted AIR the script will have to be updated to accommodate the changes. I could not find a report in OpsCenter that would give me this information. Is the "CR sent" data logged somewhere other that the job logs that would make it easier to report on for any given timeframe?
