Re: [Veritas-bu] Anyone successfully implemented VXSS?
Does VxSS also allow for auditing of what users are doing when they are logged into the servers in terms of NetBackup activities (i.e. creation/deletion of policies, modification of schedules, etc)? In addition to locking down our application I'd also like to implement auditing so if we have a failure we can root cause the problem and make any changes to documentation or training needed to prevent future issues.

Re: [Veritas-bu] Anyone successfully implemented VXSS?
Jared, That's just the tip of the iceberg, that is a specific VXSS command and should work straight off the bat, wait till you start trying to use the standard NBU commands to pull of info from media servers etc out there that are possibly running on different platforms. i.e windows and unix use different authentication methods which vxss relies on therefore from the command logged in as userA on a unix box how do you pull info from a windows media server ? There are certain bprsh commands that can incorporate your standard nbu commands however I still am not a fan at all.

Re: [Veritas-bu] Anyone successfully implemented VXSS?
The current environment I work in uses VXSS after working in many that haven't. From my point of view it is a pain in the arse. Whenever I encounter issues VXSS is disabled first, just recently I was developing a cross site catalog backup strategy utilising NBU catalog command line utility (with root priv). Catalog backups completed however failed in activity monitor with a error code 50. disable VXSS and away you go. A new binary had to be sent from Symantec. Along with this I think you will find a number of command switches might have issue , an example I have come across is vmoprcmd's -crawreleasbyname, she not work with VXSS Dave From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 27 August 2007 21:31 To: Ian Clements Cc: veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [Veritas-bu] Anyone successfully implemented VXSS?
