Using the NetBackup Appliance Shell Menu

This section details the use, options, and organization of the NetBackup Appliance Shell Menu.

The initial view outlines the various categories of tasks you can perform from the command-line interface.

All the commands are auto-completed. You can press Tab or Enter to complete a command.

The following is a list of helpful tips on how to use the NetBackup Appliance Shell Menu:

  • When you press the ? key, more information about the commands or sub-views is displayed. If you press ? after you enter a command, the format and usage of the parameters for that command is displayed.

  • When you press the space bar key, the next parameter that needs to be entered is displayed.

  • When you press the Enter key, the next "mandatory" parameter that needs to be entered is displayed. A "mandatory" parameter is one that does not have default values.

    Note:

    In the documentation, command variables that are italicised or in angular barackets (<>) are mandatory variables; whereas command parameters that are in square brackets ([]) are optional. For example, in the Main > Manage > MountPoints > Unmount MountPoint [Force] command, where MountPoint is a mandatory variable and [Force] is an optional parameter.

  • The Secure Shell(SSH) sessions have a limited idle time due to security limits on the Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) Operating System. You may experience the following issues:

    • You are logged out automatically if the SSH session remains idle up to the current session time limit.

    • Commands fail to complete if they require more time than the current session time limit. One example where you may experience this issue is when you add a large number of LDAP or AD users and user groups.

    To help avoid these issues, keep the session alive for a longer duration by increasing the session time limit in the SSH client. For detailed configuration instructions, refer to your SSH client documentation.
