The bptestbpcd command tries to establish a connection from a NetBackup server to the bpcd daemon on another NetBackup system. If successful, it reports information about the sockets that are established.
The first line of output
is three digits that represent the effective connect options. The
first digit is 0 if reserved ports are used and 1 if non-reserved
ports are used. The second digit is 0 if legacy (random port)
call-back is used and 1 if vnetd
call-back is used. The third digit is 1 if the connection is
initiated on the vnetd port number.
The third digit is 2 if the connection is initiated on the legacy
bpcd port number.
The second and third
lines display the following items: the NetBackup server IP address
and port number, the connection direction, and the bpcd IP address and port number for the first two
established sockets. If the connection is to a NetBackup client, a
third socket is established. The following items appear in an
additional line: the NetBackup server IP address and port number,
the direction of the connection, and the bpcd IP address and port number.
The first setting indicates the type of port to use to connect to bpcd on the client:
0 = Use a reserved port number.
1 = Use a nonreserved port number. If you select this option, enable Allow Nonreserved Ports for the client. See the Universal Settings dialog under .
2 = Use the value that the DEFAULT_CONNECT_OPTIONS configuration entry on the server defines.
The second setting indicates the bpcd call-back method to use to connect to the client:
0 = Use the traditional call-back method.
1 = Use the vnetd no call-back method.
2 = Use the value that the DEFAULT_CONNECT_OPTIONS configuration entry on the server defines.
The third setting indicates the connection method to use to connect the client:
0 = Connect to a daemon on the client using vnetd if possible, otherwise, connect by using the traditional port number of the daemon.
1 = Connect to a daemon on the host using vnetd only.
2 = Connect to a daemon on the server by using the traditional port number of the daemon only.
3 = Use the value that the DEFAULT_CONNECT_OPTIONS configuration entry on the server defines.
If -connect_options is not specified, the configured connect options from the client database, the CONNECT_OPTIONS configuration entry, or the DEFAULT_CONNECT_OPTIONS configuration entry is used.
The client name of the system to connect to. If neither -host nor -client is specified, the host name of the local system is used.
The host name of the system to connect to. Typically, host_name is the host name of a NetBackup server. If neither -host nor -client is specified, the host name of the local system issued.
The host name of the NetBackup server that initiates the connection. If -server is specified, the host name of the local system is used.
Number of seconds to wait before you close the sockets after the connection to bpcd is established. The default is 0.
Display additional information about the bpcd host or client such as the bpcd protocol number.
A connection from the local system to server fred is tried by using the legacy connect options:
# bptestbpcd -host fred -connect_options 0 0 2 0 0 2 10.0.0.32:748 -> 10.0.0.59:13782 10.0.0.32:983 <- 10.0.0.59:635
A connection from the server fred is tried to the client wilma by using the vnetd port number if possible:
# bptestbpcd -M fred -client wilma -connect_options 2 2 0 1 1 1 10.0.0.59:40983 -> 10.0.0.104:13724 10.0.0.59:40984 -> 10.0.0.104:13724 10.0.0.59:40985 -> 10.0.0.104:13724
