Vxupdate Command Line

[Idara Viengxay]

Wehave hundreds of Netbackup clients to upgrade to 8.1.2 and would like to kick off a bulk job. Manually using the GUI to build a policy and manually picking all the clients will take forever. So I'd like to use this process as explained in the "Commands Reference Guide" for nbinstallcmd.

Backline got back to me today. They have informed me that VxUpdate from the CLI cannot do multiple clients in one execution unless you are using the utility to reference an existing policy with clients defined in it - which in my estimation is utterly useless.

-host_filelist from command line can only do one client at a time. The Command Reference Guide does seem to me to imply you can, but basically they told me I'm reading it wrong, log a product enhancement because tough tacos, it can't do it.

At this point I'd recommend going in and selecting the package and doing schedule creation through the GUI. I'm sure there's CLI binaries out there to do it but that's more hunting than I have time for right now. =)
