Hello,

I'm writing a Netbackup Health Check Script to "proactively" check the 
status of my infrastructure. This will help me to be aware of potential 
issues & then correct / fix them so that less time is spent 
troubleshooting the problems after a failed backup. To that end, here's 
my list of items I'm checking for (in no particular order). Please 
provide comments / suggestions / additions regarding this list and what 
you think of this idea.

1. Ping the client (IP/Media Server).
2. Media Server status (via vmoprcmd - Tells you if offline).
3. Verify if NBU processes are running.
4. All Tape Drives are UP.
5. Long running backups.
6. Pending Tape Requests.
7. Enough tapes in the Scratch Pool (quantity).
8. Robots are accessible.
9. Any policy was changed and what was changed.
10. New policy added & details.
11. Verify the installation directory and files have not been changed.
12. Verify connectivity via Netbackup (eg from Master Server run 
bpcoverage -c <hostname>.
13. I'm tempted to rsh to client and then run bpclntcmd -sv.
14. Verify the performance files are in place (eg NET_BUFFER_SZ).

Thanks.
