you need to allow "ping" as well on your firewall

Clustered Netbackup Server



I got some great information from responses on this list to my firewall
issue. I was able to use all the troubleshooting tips to suggest that the
problem lied with the firewall. I could telent from the client to the media
server but I could NOT telnet from the media server to the client. This has
now been resolved but I have not yet had a successful backup. The client is
now creating logs for bpcd and the error message is Reserved Port Mismatch.

 

Any ideas what Reserved Port Mismatch could be? Am I still looking at a
firewall issue?

 

NAT is turned off for my IP addresses in question. There are two firewalls
in the picture, using Check Point and Side Winder.

 

Thanks again.

Subject: How to troubleshoot a Firewall Client Backup with Clustered
Netbackup Server

 

Hi, I am attempting to backup two Solaris NBU5.1 clients through a firewall
and they are unsuccessful. I would like some pointers on troubleshooting
this procedure.

 

The firewall rules have been set up for bpcd (13782) going out to the client
from the master server and media servers.

The firewall rules have been set up for vnetd (13724) going into the server.

The client attribute of vnetd port has been selected from the master server
properties for each of the clients.

When selecting the client properties from the NBU admin interface the error
of cannot connect on socket (status 25) returns immediately

When running a test backup the error of (58) can't connect to client returns
almost immediately.

 

I have run the bpclient -client -nameofclient -L command on each of the
firewalled clients and the No call back connections is set to yes. But the
IP address returned is 0.0.0.0 

I have checked the /etc/services and /etc/inetd.conf on each client

I have checked the bp.conf on each client and server and media server names
are present

I have checked /etc/hosts on server and client

I have enabled logging of bpcd and vnetd on the clients but there are no log
files created - indicating no communication with the clients from the master

I have enabled logging of bpcd on the master

 

How can I determine if the problem lies with the firewall rules created by
the firewall admin team or with netbackup (version 5.1 HP-UX running on a
VCS cluster). Could the issue be related to the fact that I have a netbackup
clustered server. The firewall rules only specify the virtual server
hostname. Addition of physical name and IP to firewall rules is not
possible.

 

 

Regards, Mark K
