Unquiesce KMS database

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

This command sends an unquiesce request to KMS. If the command succeeds, the current outstanding quiesce count is returned. A count of zero (0) means that the KMS database is completely unquiesced.

# nbkmsutil -help -unquiescedb
nbkmsutil -unquiescedb
