I find that the Sysadmin reference guide is the most useful if you want
to learn the CLI. There are also some useful CLI 'goodies' located in
/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/goodies which I find quite useful (like
available_media).

If I don't know how to-do something in the CLI I use bpadm as an interim
measure till I can figure it out..

Oh, and if anyone is from Vertias is reading this - it would be very
useful for you to teach people to use the CLI on your advanced NB course
- I was the only student to use it thru-out the course .. :) - It is so
much quicker than the java interface (if you can call it that).

I wouldn't call myself a guru with the CLI, I would say I'm rather
advanced at this point. I can do most things with it (up/down
components, troubleshoot tape media, find images, duplicates, start
backups, etc...). I learnt mostly from trial and error (it is hard to
actually break anything from the CLI unless you're really trying)
combined with the man pages and/or documentation in the SysAdmins guides
(which is mostly a rehash of man pages). Combined with some tech notes
from Veritas as needed (formats of some of the outputs).

For the things I don't know CLI commands for, often the text base
menuing systems stand in quite well. (bp, bpadm, etc...)
