DESCRIPTION
The nbcmdrun command is a wrapper used to run NetBackup commands on a NetBackup host. The NetBackup host is a primary server, a media server, or a client.
You can run the commands based on your RBAC permissions. With the NetBackup Command-Line Administrator role, you can run most of the NetBackup commands with a non-root user account.
You must enter command name without any path or extension, followed by all required and any optional arguments. You must run the nbcmdrun from a directory to which you have read and write access.
The nbcmdrun command supports granular RBAC for NetBackup policy-related commands. Use the -listCmdsWithGranularRbac option to see the list of commands that nbcmdrun supports with granular RBAC.
To use nbcmdrun, the NetBackup service user must be enabled on the host. For more information about how to enable nbcmdrun and the NetBackup service user, see the NetBackup Security and Encryption Guide.
The nbcmdrun command is not supported with NetBackup Access Control (NBAC) features.
The nbcmdrun logs are found at the location shown:
UNIX: /usr/openv/netbackup/logs/nbcmdrun
Windows: install_path\NetBackup\logs\nbcmdrun
The logs of any command nbcmdrun runs are found in their respective log directory.
For more information about the nbcmdrun functionality, see the NetBackup Security and Encryption Guide.
