Verify remote commands for centralized NetBackup data collection

The centralized NetBackup Data Collector remotely executes a number of NetBackup commands using remote server options. Many commands query NetBackup Master Servers listed in the collection policy therefore the NetBackup Master must be configured to accept these requests from the Data Collector. Some collection probes query NetBackup Media Servers and some probe NetBackup clients; therefore, network connectivity and NetBackup permissions must be configured to allow these commands to return the correct output.

The following commands should execute without error and with data returned before the Data Collector can probe the systems.

Master Servers

bpgetconfig -L -s [server name]

bppllist -M [server name]

nbdevquery -liststs -U -EMM [server name]

Every Master and Media Server

/usr/openv/volmgr/bin/vmoprcmd -h [server name] -devconfig

Every Client

bpgetconfig -L -s [client name]
