Do you know bptestbpcd ?

Do you know the bptestcd command in NBU 6.5.x ?. It's one of the tool you really start to like when working in a firewalled environment using clustered Netbackup master servers.

It's straight forward to use:

./bptestbpcd -client webdkba049  <-- YES
1 1 1
10.224.18.1:49448 -> 10.224.45.59:13724
10.224.18.1:38787 -> 10.224.45.59:13724
10.224.18.1:44786 -> 10.224.45.59:13724

# ./bptestbpcd -client cfg  <-- BUHHHH
<16>bptestbpcd main: Function ConnectToBPCD(cfg) failed: 23
socket read failed

As always the default connect option for NBU 6.5 is VNTED 13724. If you combine bpclntcmd with tcpdump you have a very sharp tool for verifying connectivity.
