NetBackup™ Deduplication Guide

Running the MSDP commands on NetBackup appliances

On a NetBackup Appliance, log in to the appliance shell menu using the NetBackup CLI user. From there, you can run msdpcmdrun commands directly in the shell:

nbcliuser-!> msdpcmdrun catdbutil --count

For the usage of NetBackup CLI, see About the NetBackup CLI user role topic of the NetBackup Appliance Security Guide.
