Jennifer,
We're running the Admin console here too. There were some issues when
setting it up and this is what we found:
-In the bp.conf of every server (master & media) you need
CONNECT_OPTIONS = <admin console server name> 1 1 1
-On the admin console server you need the following registry values under
MyComputer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\VERITAS\Netbackup\CurrentVersion\Conf
ig:
1) ALLOW_NON_RESERVED_PORTS (which is type REG_SZ); set it to "YES"
2) CONNECT_OPTIONS (which is type REG_MULTI_SZ); it needs to contain entries
for every server (master & media) with "1 1 1" after each.
3) CLIENT_PORT_WINDOW (which is type REG_SZ); it needs to be set to "0 0"
4) CLIENT_RESERVED_PORT_WINDOW (which is type REG_SZ); it needs to be set to
"512 1023"
I think that should do it. We had some trouble finding all this information
in any documentation and came to most of this through trial & error. Some
of this will also depend on ACL's and if you're traversing a firewall. Hope
it helps.
-Dave

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Problems with Admin Consoles
Hi there!
We are having a couple of problems with both versions of the Admin
Consoles. The first one is the full console running on a Windows XP SP1.
The problem is that I can't access my media server, even though the
workstation name is permitted. I get the error: Unable to determine global
device database host for device host mediaserver.peregrine.com: not
authorized to connect to vmd(126). Everything appears to be running with I
do a bpps -a from the media server, though.
In addition, on a couple of different PC's now, all running Windows
XP SP1, the Java Console will not run. If I go to the Java Console for
either the master or media servers, the command prompt comes up and the app
looks like it's going to start, but it never does. Never get a log in
prompt or anything. In the event log, I get an Application Hang error:
Hanging application NBConsole.EXE, version 5.0.0.352, hang module hungapp,
version 0.0.0.0, hang address 0x00000000.
Here's our environment: Veritas Netbackup 5.0 (no patches) on
Master server - Solaris 7, ATL DLT Library. Media server - Solaris 8,
Storagetek e700 library. Consoles - IBM PC's running Windows XP SP1.
I have reinstalled the full clients 4 times on the console PC's, and
that hasn't made a difference, even installing them independantly:
Installing the Fat console and not the java and vice versa. Has anyone seen
anything like this and know what I might be able to do to fix it?
Thanks much!
