Running NetBackup commands on a primary or a media server application instance
Flex Appliance provides the capability for the appadmin user to run NetBackup commands on all NetBackup primary and media server instances.
Note:
Flex Appliance does not support adding local directories or manually editing any of the files on application instances. If you create a local directory or manually edit a file and the instance is relocated or stopped for any reason, the changes are not maintained when the instance restarts.
To run NetBackup commands on an instance, open an SSH session to the instance and log in as the appadmin user. For each command that you want to run, specify sudo and enter the absolute or the relative path. For example:
sudo /opt/veritas/vxapp-manage/tune -s
You can run commands for the following directories and executables on primary and media server instances:
/opt/veritas/vxapp-manage/cp-nbu-config
See Creating a NetBackup touch file on a primary or a media server application instance.
/opt/veritas/vxapp-manage/cp-nbu-notify
See Installing NetBackup notify scripts on a primary or a media server application instance.

Note:
Commands in the directories that are marked with an asterisk (*) can also be run in the following format without the path:
sudo -i <command>
For example:
sudo -i bpps
You can run commands for the following directories and executables on media server instances only:
/opt/veritas/vxapp-manage/tune
/usr/openv/pdde/pdag/bin/mtstrmd
/usr/openv/pdde/pdag/bin/pdcfg
/usr/openv/pdde/pdag/bin/pdusercfg

/usr/openv/pdde/pdcr/bin
/usr/sbin/mount.nfs
/usr/sbin/mount.nfs4
/usr/sbin/umount.nfs
/usr/sbin/umount.nfs4
Note:
The df command may show incorrect usage information for application instances. However, the total storage and the available storage are correct. To determine the correct usage information, subtract the available storage from the total storage.
