SYNOPSIS

vltadm [-version]

 

The directory path to this command is /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/

DESCRIPTION

This command operates only on UNIX systems.

vltadm is a menu interface utility that an administrator can use to configure NetBackup Vault. You must have administrator privileges. This command can be used from any character-based terminal (or terminal emulation window) for which the administrator has a termcap or terminfo definition.

See the NetBackup Vault Administrator's Guide and the vltadm online Help for detailed operating instructions.

OPTIONS

Display the vltadm version and exit.

RETURN VALUES

Vault may exit with a status code greater than 255. Such status codes are called extended exit status codes. For such a case, the exit status that is returned to the system is 252. The actual exit status is written to stderr in the format, EXIT status = exit status

The extended exit status values are documented in the NetBackup Troubleshooting Guide and in the NetBackup Troubleshooter Wizard.
