About NetBackup administrator capabilities
NetBackup administrators have superuser privileges and share a common home directory within a restricted shell. From this restricted shell, the NetBackup administrators can do the following:
Use a base command name, an absolute or a relative path, or a shell script as a way to execute NetBackup commands.
Have full NetBackup logging capabilities.
The following list shows the NetBackup commands that a NetBackup administrator can run with superuser privileges and the directories that contain the NetBackup commands.
/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/*
/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd/*
/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/goodies/*
/usr/openv/volmgr/bin/*
/usr/openv/volmgr/bin/goodies/*
/usr/openv/pdde/pdag/bin/mtstrmd
/usr/openv/pdde/pdag/bin/pdcfg
/usr/openv/pdde/pdag/bin/pdusercfg
/usr/openv/pdde/pdconfigure/pdde
/usr/openv/pdde/pdcr/bin/*
Note:
Because there are NetBackup commands on a NetBackup appliance, it is possible that some of the command arguments are not supported.
The following list shows the commands and scripts that you cannot run from the directories:
Library files - The files that end with the .so or .so64 extensions.
Notify scripts - Scripts that contain notify string within the file name.
File list files - The files that end with the .filelist extension.
