Re: [Veritas-bu] None of the slected hosts could be contacted

Simon,

One very handy tool Symantec has recently published is NetBackup Domain Network Analyzer (NB DNA.)

Download is:
http://www.symantec.com/business/support/index?page=content&id=TECH125454

It is delployed with 6.5.6, but can be used with 6.5.5. There is an additional patch you have to install with 6.5.5. I think the patch is a binary addition - you don't have to shutdown services to apply the patch. (I didn't anyway.)

The tool will give you a very detailed list of any name resolution problems. It will also list any network problems it finds when trying to initiate client connections. I'll be using it at least once a week to figure out what my network and firewall teams are doing to the backups.

Kind of hoping the nbconsole log will show name resolution issues as well. Give us an update if you can.

Also try the reverse. This will validate connections are being seen as the hostname you think they are. -----Original Message----- From: veritas-bu-bounces AT mailman.eng.auburn DOT edu [mailto:veritas-bu-bounces AT mailman.eng.auburn DOT edu] On Behalf Of fredsharky Sent: Monday, October 11, 2010 10:20 AM To: VERITAS-BU AT MAILMAN.ENG.AUBURN DOT EDU Subject: [Veritas-bu] None of the slected hosts could be contacted @Len, we have checked everyplace we can think of for naming issues and all that we have seen so far are correct. @William, I am running both the jnbSA (from master) and the java windows gui from my pc and neither work - and yes when i highlight the master server it says connected - I can actually open up the master server under the media server and client properties, just not under the master server properties. @Simon, i can run the bpgetconfig just fine from the master. I have opened a case with Symantec since we upgraded to 6.5.5, so hopefully they can help..
