child_start_deployment_notify
The child_start_deployment_notify script (on UNIX) and the child_start_deployment_notify.cmd script (on Windows) runs on the NetBackup master server. NetBackup calls the script each time a new deployment child job starts and initialization is completed. The script runs before all deployment steps are initiated.
To use this script, copy the following file from the master server:
On UNIX: /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/goodies/child_start_deployment_notify
On Windows: install_path\NetBackup\bin\goodies\child_start_deployment_notify.cmd
Then place the script in the following location on the master server:
On UNIX: /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/
On Windows: install_path\NetBackup\bin\
To run properly, the script must be executable. To make the script executable on a UNIX master server, run chmod ugo+rx child_start_deployment_notify
NetBackup passes the following parameters to the script based on the platform:
