Use the backup commands to display the status of the NetBackup services.
See the following man pages for detailed examples:
backup_show(1)
backup_status(1)
backup_start(1)
backup_stop(1)
To display NetBackup services
Backup> show
Example:
Backup> show Virtual Name: nbuclient.veritas.com Virtual IP: 10.10.10.10/24 NetBackup Master Server: nbumaster.veritas.com NetBackup EMM Server: nbumaster.veritas.com NetBackup Media Server(s): nbumaster.veritas.com Backup Device: pubeth1 NetBackup Client Version: 8.0 NetBackup global log level: not configured NetBackup database log level: not configured Enable robust logging: not configured Enable critical process logging: not configured
If the settings were configured while the backup and the restore services were online, they may not be in use by Veritas Access. To display all of the configured settings, first run the Backup> stop command, then run the Backup> start command.
To display the status of backup services
Backup> status
Example:
Backup> status Virtual IP state: up Backup service online node: node_01 NetBackup client state: online NetBackup SAN client state: online No backup or restore jobs running.
If the NetBackup server is started and online, then Backup> status displays any on-going backup or restore jobs.
To start or stop backup services
Backup> start [nodename]
You can also change the status of a virtual IP address to online after it has been configured using the Backup> virtual-ip command. This command applies to any currently active node in the cluster that handles backup and restore jobs.
See Configuring or resetting the virtual IP address used by NetBackup.
Backup> stop
You can also change the status of a virtual IP address to offline after it has been configured using the Backup> virtual-ip command.
See Configuring or resetting the virtual IP address used by NetBackup.
The Backup> stop command does nothing if any backup jobs are online that involve Veritas Access file systems.
