Quiesce KMS database

To quiesce the KMS database, use the NetBackup Key Management Service (KMS) utility command (the nbkmsutil command) with the included arguments.

This command sends the quiesce request to KMS. If the command succeeds, the current outstanding quiesce count is returned as multiple backup jobs might quiesce the KMS database.

# nbkmsutil -help -quiescedb
nbkmsutil -quiescedb
