Veritas NetBackup™ Commands Reference Guide

DESCRIPTION

The bptestnetconn command performs several tasks that help you analyze DNS and connectivity problems with any specified list of hosts, including the server list in the NetBackup configuration. To help troubleshoot connectivity problems between the services that use CORBA communications, bptestnetconn can perform and report on CORBA connections to named services. The command can also perform and report the responsiveness of the NetBackup Web Service. The command also shows the connection direction, whether the communication was encrypted by a connection to the secure proxy process or not.

Logs for the bptestnetconn command are located in /usr/openv/netbackup/logs/bptestnetconn/*.log for UNIX and Linux, and in install_path\netbackup\logs\bptestnetconn\*.log for Windows.

OPTIONS

EXAMPLES

Example 1 - List all the servers in the NetBackup configuration.

# bptestnetconn -l
               knothead.example.com
                         www.google.com
