Using the nbdiscover command to search the virtual environment
To search for VMs, run nbdiscover on the primary server.
UNIX and Linux:
/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/nbdiscover -noxmloutput "query"
Windows:
install_path\NetBackup\bin\nbdiscover.exe -noxmloutput "query"
where -noxmloutput displays one VM per line. The query specifies either a filter-based search rule or a browse operation.
See Query format and examples for searching virtual machine backups.
For example, to search for the backups of virtual machines that have "prod1" in their display names:
nbdiscover -noxmloutput "vmsearch:/;reqType=search?filter=VMDisplayName Contains 'prod1'"
For further descriptions of the command options, see the command's man page or the NetBackup Commands Reference Guide.
