All servers should be defined in bp.conf on the Unix Master server, no
matter what OS.
So you should have an entry for your DB server in bp.conf such as:
SERVER =3D <DB server hostname>.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Windows backup failing to Unix Server - Succeeds
to Windows server
An odd one here. Our Windows Admin has attempted to setup a Windows
machine to be backed up by our Unix Master. When he does he gets a
Status 59 which means the server isn't recognized by the client. When
he uses his Windows Master to do this it goes just fine. =20
Per the troubleshooting we turned on logging on the client. In the bprd
log we see lines like:
bpcd valid_server: comparing cthroat.water.com and atubks01.dsw.net.
atubks01.dsw.net is the name of the Unix server. cthroat.water.com was
our old server and that address has been aliased to point to the new
server.
After the initial statements we see "bcd valid_server hostname
comparison succeeded" so that seems good. =20
Later in the log though I see it comparing the Windows Master to my main
Production DB server which is confusing because:
1) We've told it to use the Unix Master which doesn't know about
the Windows Master.=20
2) It says the Production DB server is "not a server" (presumably
meaning master) which is true but also says "not a media server" which
is NOT true.
If this were Unix I'd think he had odd entries in bp.conf that needed to
be changed. However I don't know Windows and didn't see anything called
bp.conf when doing an explore of the Netbackup directory there.
Any ideas on what I could check? The troubleshooting guide makes it
clear this is an issue with the client recognizing the server not
vice-versa so I need some idea what to check on the Windows side.
