There was a good discussion of this 6 months or a year ago on this list (search the archives). With some versions and some platforms, one can use "bpgp" to find the NetBackup client or agent version. For example, many versions of Netbackup might use a default "/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/version"

What is the underlying reason for doing this? Is the goal to improve the network throughput on the media server or do the clients have an actual need to be on four different vlans? If you did it that way you would create a "virtual" media server entry for each ip. The real challenge comes w
