To update an MSDP catalog backup
- On the MSDP storage server, invoke the drcontrol utility and use the appropriate options for your needs. The following is the syntax for an update operation:
UNIX: /usr/openv/pdde/pdcr/bin/drcontrol --update_policy --policy policy_name [--client host_name] [--hardware machine_type] [--OS operating_system]
Windows: install_path\Veritas\pdde\drcontrol --update_policy --policy policy_name [--client host_name] [--hardware machine_type] [--OS operating_system] [--OS operating_system] [--NB_install_dir install_directory]
Descriptions of the options are available in another topic.
The utility creates a log file and displays its path in the command output.
