Hi
I'm running NBU javaGui 7.6.0.4 x64 bit on my machine.....when logging in it opens multiple sessions as can be seen in /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/bpjava-susvc......is this normal......can it cause a negative impact on the master server.
Hi gurus,
Master - Linux; NBU 7.6
Client - Solaris 10; NBU 6.5
Given the data sheet, my understanding is NBU master with ver 7.6 can backup the client with NBU client 6.5.
Please confirm that this will work. Thanks so much.
Can somebody through light on how to troubleshoot for the log below :

I came across this as a formula to calculate the required space for the accelerator track log, it was old and in a non-authorative forum post .
Is this still accurate?
Track Log Size [bytes] = [Number of files * 200] + [ [ Number of 128 KB blocks used ] *20 ]
I.E
Track Log Size [bytes] = [Number of files * 200] + [ [ Total disk space used in Bytes /128KB ] *20 ]
Cheers
Hi Peoples,
I am trying to configure NBAC on my netbackup. Please see below
D:\Program Files\Veritas\NetBackup\bin\admincmd>bpnbaz.exe -setupmaster
You will have to restart NetBackup services on this machine after the command completes successfully.
Do you want to continue(y/n)y
Gathering configuration information.
Please be patient as we wait for 10 sec for the security services to start their operation.
Generating identity for host 'masterserver'
Setting up basic authorization information. Please be patient.
Unable to contact Netbackup Authorization Service. Check if the Netbackup is properly installed
So obviously i think the service is not up and so i went to the windows services and try to start it up, but was unable to. So i go to D:\Program Files\Veritas\NetBackup\logs\nbazd\debug\ and check the file vxazd_debug.log and saw the error message below.
15/7/2015 2:52:50 PM 15/7/2015 2:52:50 PM VxSS-vxazd LOG V-18-4201 Server is starting.

following this article, https://support.symantec.com/en_US/article.TECH174289.html i query the registry and the result is shown below

I also did check the vxdbms.conf and the NB_SERVER Name is as below
VXDBMS_NB_SERVER = NB_masterserver_m
The server.conf file,
-n NB_masterserver_m -x tcpip(LocalOnly=YES;ServerPort=13785) -gd DBA -gk DBA -gl DBA -gp 4096 -ti 0 -c 25M -ch 500M -cl 25M -zl -os 1M -o "D:\Program Files\Veritas\NetBackupDB\log\server.log"
Also i did a check on VRTSaz.conf, i also notice that it states MasterServerHost="localhost"
My masterserver hostname is masterserver_m
Can anyone please advise why the nbazd service not able to bring up? I do notice that the registry key name is different from the vxdbms.conf and server.conf file for the NB_SERVER.
Hi
I am encountering an error in Netbackup with the VmWare snapshot. Had a peak and i find 2 errors, 156 which is generally an error getting the snapshot, and the another error which says the following:
Critical bpbrm (pid=35437) from client SVVTPOBBE03: FTL - cannot open /usr/openv/netbackup/online_util/fi_cntl/bpfis.fim.SVVTPOBBE03_1436968819.1.0
What i dont understand is that this client is a Windows 2008 server, why is it looking up for the state file in /usr/openv...... location? Sins this client is a windows server, it should have been looking for this state file in something similar to C:/programfiles........ location.
Will appreciate help here. Thanks.

- master server OS Linux RH
-media server OS, I tried with all media servers, Linux RH, windows 2008 R2 standards.
-I added in file hosts the two DataDomain and I able to ping.

Hi community
I am trying to configure AIR between 2 clustered (win2008R2) NBU (7.6.1.2) domains.
To make that work I need to create the inter-node authentication according to that tech note:
https://support.symantec.com/en_US/article.HOWTO10...
by running bpnbaz -setupat
The command errors out with the message:
You will have to restart NetBackup services on this machine after the command completes successfully
Do you want to continue(y/n)y
Gathering configuration information.
ERROR: Failed to convert Netbackup Authentication Service startup type to 3.
On Windows, we are unable to convert the Security Service's start up type primarily from Manual mode to Automatic mode.
I have noticed that when I set manally the NBU authentication service to Automatic it reverts back to manual after running bpnbaz
Any idea how to make this command work properly?
Hello Team,

So Someone can help me how to change the access.
let me know if you need any more information
We have a NetBackup 7.6.1.2 Enterprise server, running on Windows 2008 R2 x64bit. Our situation is this, we have a HP MSL8096 tape library that must be moved to another enterprise backup system to expand that's systems tape backup/restore capabilities. The the MSL8096 has LTO5 tape drives, and wrote to LTO 5 tapes. These tapes will still have valid data backup for 90 days, and need to be available for a possible restore until they expire. We have a stand alone backup device, with 2 - LTO 5 drives that is part of the current NetBackup system, and was used for backups of other systems. What is the process for me to ensure that I will be able to use the stand alone drives to recover data from tapes, in the event that data is needed?
We have a master server(UNIX) 7.6.1.1 and a Live Update Server Windows 2008 7.6.1.1 that we use to update Windows Clients. We have other master servers in our environment and at remote sites. My question is can the live update server be shared between master servers or do we have build an individual live update server for each master? Thanks.
Greetings,
Environment:
Master Server: Windows 2K8 R2 - Netbackup 7.6.1.1
Media Server: Windows 2K8 R2 - Netbackup 7.6.1.1
Client: AIX 7.1 - Netbackup 7.6.1.2
Problem: We have been running DB2 backups (using Templates) for a few weeks now. We started noticing that the instances were failing to back up. When we asked our DB2 admin to recreate the templates after troubleshooting, he experienced the following error when trying to log in to the Java Console: file write failed (14). We asked him to run the application as an Admin and he still got the same problem. I tried to increase the logging levels on the client through client properties and got the same error when clicking Apply or Ok after setting the levels higher. Any ideas or advice?

Dear All,
We are using the Netbackup 7.6.0.1 & Our virtualization is as below:
VCenter 5.5
ESX host : 4.1.x to 5.5
Some of the VM server size 1TB to 4.5TB (All VM server disk is configured Thick provision)
And all backup are replating to Offsite (via: SLP) (Storage: iSCSI)
Currently All VM backup is configured on netbackup and created two policies in case lage size of backup. (VM Policy: Exclude data disk & MS Windows policy for disk partation (i.e E:\ d:\ etc.. )
And below 1TB all VM server is configured with "Include all disk".
Now I am planning to migrate the VM server from Thick provision to Thin Provision.
I asume that I will achive below after changes:
1) I will achive VM Storage free space.
2) Netbackup backup size & time will reduce.
3) Offsite replication time will and size will reduce.
Can you guide I am correct or not?
And Which format I am using Thick or Thin?

Hello Champions,
I am new to the netbackup and need help to upgrade netbackup appliance and netbackup. We currently running NBU Appliance 2.6.02 and NBU version 7.6.0.1. We are planning to upgrade to 2.6.1.2 and NBU version 7.6.1.2. I have few questions to ask they may sound stupid but need help to understand NBU.
We have two Netbackup master servers one is appliance and standalon master server. I was able to find appliance EEb but i could not find the NBU version image.
Do we need to install NBU appliance version first and NBU version next? if yes where can i find the NBU version 7.6.1.2?
Do I need to install both images on both servers?
I am totally confused between appliance version and netbakcup version. Answers to my stupid questions will be appreciated.
Thank you All.
One of the cooler things to come with our NetBackup 7.7 release is a brand new manual called the Logging Reference Guide - 155 pages of (hopefully) EVERYTHING you would need to know about how NetBackup logs, what logs, what logs WHERE, and how to use logs to troubleshoot your issues as well as what support's gonna ask you for if you end up opening a case with US. Our super Technical Publications team sought a lot of Engineering AND Support input to help make this manual the best it could be.
Put this one on your summer reading list!
Hi All,
I would like to ask what is the requirements of hyper-v host when we will backup a VM. like (CPU, RAM, etc) I know it will use some resources while running a backup. We will try the hyper-v backup from a production server.

Netbackup Master - 7.6.0.3
Netbackup Media Appliance - 2.6.0.3
Thanks.
